Wine Education
I develop and teach introductory and entertaining wine tasting classes for wine clubs, parties, restaurants and businesses. Past events include BuzzFeed, Tasty and UCLA. Classes may be tailored to various regions, styles, or grapes.
My goal as a wine teacher is to make wine education approachable, engaging, and entertaining. I love demystifying wine and empowering folks to discover and describe which styles of wine they truly like to drink. |
Student Reviews
"Floreana was an absolutely fantastic teacher. She was warm, knowledgeable and open, ready to answer any questions and excited to share all she knows about wine (which is a lot!). She presented an array of wines, from reds I knew I liked to whites I don't normally drink, but her explanations and tips on how to get the most out of each helped me zero in on things I normally never notice. The class was a no-pressure way to learn a lot and spend an afternoon having fun with friends. Can't recommend it highly enough!" - Julia

"Floreana revealed so many secrets about wine! Spring was an awesome, elegant yet cozy spot to learn and to enjoy and compare a variety of wines. The class was structured, with useful notetaking tools provided, but also allowed plenty of room for questions and conversation. I had a great time and learned so much!" - Lisa
