Sourced From Estates
Melissa Has Visited
Through her close friendship with the founder of WineDos — a curated wine retailer that travels to estates worldwide and films each winemaker's story — Melissa has been personally welcomed into boutique cellars in Argentina, France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal.
When she pours a Malbec from Mendoza at your tasting, she can tell you about the winemaker by name — because she met him at the estate.

What exactly happens during a private wine tasting?
Melissa arrives at your location with everything needed — wines, glassware, tasting notes, and accessories. Over 90 minutes, she guides your group through 4–6 curated wines, explaining the story behind each one, the region it comes from, and how to evaluate what you're tasting. It's educational but never stuffy — think fun, interactive, and memorable.
Do I need any wine knowledge to enjoy this?
Absolutely not. Melissa designs every experience to be approachable for complete beginners and interesting for experienced wine enthusiasts alike. No prior knowledge required — everyone leaves feeling like they've learned something and had a genuinely great time.
Does Melissa bring the wine, or do I need to provide it?
Melissa brings everything — the wines, glassware, tasting notes, and accessories. You don't need to purchase or prepare anything wine-related. Simply provide the space and invite your guests. You're welcome to provide additional beverages or food for before and after the tasting.
Do you host bachelorette parties and bridal showers?
Absolutely — bachelorette parties and bridal showers are one of Wine Meets World's most popular experiences. Melissa creates a private, elegant wine tasting designed around the bride-to-be. She handles everything — wines, glassware, tasting notes — so the host can focus entirely on celebrating. Groups of 7-15 guests qualify for the $65/person rate. Contact Melissa early for popular weekend dates as they fill quickly.
How much does it cost and what's included?
Intimate tastings (2–6 guests) start at $85/person. Private groups (7–15 guests) are $65/person. Corporate events (16+) receive a custom quote. Minimum booking $350.

What makes Wine Meets World different from other wine services?
Most wine educators pour wine from a distributor catalog. Melissa sources wines from estates she has personally visited — in Argentina, France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal — through her friendship with the founder of WineDos. When she pours a wine at your tasting, she can tell you about the winemaker by name, describe the vineyard, and share the story behind the bottle. No competitor in Orlando or most of the country can offer that.
