Go from curious to connoisseur.

Hi, I’m Rapha. I help curious wine enthusiasts become literate, confident wine connoisseurs.

What's Wine Literacy?

Wine literacy isn’t about memorizing tasting notes or chasing prestige.

It’s about building confidence in your own palate, understanding what you love, and discovering connections between wine, food, and culture.

It’s not about drinking more. It’s about drinking better.

Our approach to wine literacy is simple yet intentional—focusing on knowledge that’s practical, enjoyable, and applicable in real life (not just in textbooks or exams).

Sometimes that means learning solo, sometimes it means joining a community of fellow wine lovers.

Either way, the goal is the same:

To drink with confidence, explore without intimidation, and experience luxury without pretense.
