You asked, we listened!

Our audience + participation for our first series of online wine education classes was so amazing, that we’ve decided to bring you more. Get ready, the WINE EDUCATION FROM THE COUCH team is bringing more fun + wine education your way! 🍷

So pull on those yoga pants (pants not required, by the way😊), grab your laptop, tablet or smart phone + socialize from the waste up with your besties, your co-workers, your fam, or meet new faces in our online wine classes with Amusée!

We’ve found the perfect way to get us all back on the same page with our virtual series of wine classes. Created to bring us all together, glass of wine in hand, and learn a little something while doing so. So come on over + join us from your wine couch!

Here’s how it works!

  • Each virtual wine class is $10 each — or purchase all 5 classes + receive a discount (5 classes for $40)!
  • Veteran Sommelier Leslee Miller, owner of Amusée + Sip Better, and friends will be joining you LIVE from ZOOM (a free cloud video conferencing platform) with each class from 7-8pm CST
  • Each class will have a set topic, but hey! We’re open to venturing off topic, so ask any + all your most curious wine questions!
  • Once you purchase your ticket via Eventbrite, we’ll send you an invite for our online wine class straight from ZOOM. (The directions for tuning in will be sent in the link)
  • You will have to create an account with Zoom + log in for each class.
  • Tune in at 7pm CST, grab your fave libation (preferably vino😊), sip, learn about the topics we’ll be covering, chime in, socialize with your mates + meet other like minded peeps that love wine, too — all without leaving your own couch!
