I’m Payton, a WSET level 3-certified wine educator, writer, and curator. After fifteen years of working in restaurants and wine shops, I’m using my combined practical and classroom experience to make wine fun and approachable for everyone.

I believe that wine is the perfect passport to visit every corner of the world without ever leaving home, and it’s my passion to explore that liquid geography with you!

Whether you’re totally new to the world of wine or you’re looking to brush up on your sommelier skills, I’m here to help! Check out my class offerings here and let’s uncork something fresh together! 🥂
