About

Fine Wine Appreciation - passionate, independent wine education

Fine Wine Appreciation has been running for over 25 years in Melbourne, conducted by respected wine expert Matthew Hansen. As a highly acclaimed professional chef and educator, Matthew’s personable style and passionate approach ensures all those with a love of fine wine will benefit from his unique and insightful perspectives. 

Most importantly, Matthew is Melbourne’s only completely independent educator, and not affiliated with any specific wineries, wine merchant or makers – all wines featured in his courses are offered on merit alone. Fine Wine Appreciation does not accept industry favours, and does not sell wine to participants.

Matthew has been hosting here since the mid 80s and I can see why, with am offering of delectable Japanese food (I've travelled there a half dozen times), perfectly matches wines and a calming enviromment. I enjoyed the dinner with other like minded folk (white collar professionals and charming retirees) - rendering the week a success only into Monday. Will be back again and have already enquired on booking again with view of bringing along a few clients next time through a private booking.

Highly recommended for any lover of beautiful Australian wine, delicious food and great company. I went solo and felt very comfortable with other guests. Matthew is a remarkable host, offering his encyclopedic knowledge and with his genuine appreciation for Melbourne's food and wine scene on clear display. I am excited excited for my next event.
