We had such a wonderful experience hosting a wine tasting for my mom’s birthday! Liz was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and personable. She did an amazing job tailoring the tasting to our preferences and budget, making the entire experience feel personalized and special. We learned so much, enjoyed some fantastic wines, and had a great time! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun and unique wine tasting experience!

We have invited Liz and Vinum Atelier to arrange our wine tasting twice. Our guests were so happy to hear the stories about wine and Liz was absolutely friendly and nice. We also loved the way how she arranged the event. The choice of wines was perfect

Liz is truly wonderful at what she does! Every time I’ve reached out to her for a wine recommendation for a special occasion, she has chosen something exceptional, yet always within a budget. Like she says - “Wine does not have to be expensive to be wonderful “. Most importantly she always takes the time to explain the story behind the wine and why she selected it.
That personal touch makes the experience so much more exciting and memorable. I love sharing Liz’s wine stories with my guests when I serve the wine, it turns a great bottle into a great conversation. Liz’s knowledge, passion, and thoughtful recommendations are truly appreciated and valued!

A wonderful wine-tasting experience and a highlight of our visit. The wines were excellent, each with its own distinct character, and the thoughtful explanations helped us appreciate every glass. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, with plenty of time to enjoy the tasting and ask questions. We left with a deeper appreciation for the wines and the care behind them. Liz was so much fun and incredibly attentive! Her warmth and enthusiasm made the wine tasting even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
