... and what do we do?

The brainchild of Ben Edwards, The Wine Guide was established in 2007 as a consultancy service to the hospitality industry and beyond.

The Wine Guide is not a book (yet!), but a play on words. Our goal is to 'Guide' you through the world of wine, whatever the direction you need to go. We offer a range of services focused on Consultation, Education and Events.

Our team all come from a Sommelier and hospitality background and have a wealth of experience and knowledge in not only wine but, most importantly, communication.

Our goal is to empower our clients with knowledge and give them a clear insight into the often intimidating (and confusing) world of wine.

Ben Edwards

Director

Founder and Director of The Wine Guide, Ben brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to both the team and clients alike. A brilliant communicator, he has hosted and moderated vast numbers of wine events and master classes, not only across Australia, but all over the World.

Accessibility is the key, as he can make any function informative, educational and, most importantly, enjoyable. 'Edutainment' is what he calls it!

His excitement for good wine is palpable whether in front of a camera, or in front of a room full of students, and his even handed and no-nonsense approach to wine has drawn plenty of praise from the press and trade. Dan is a vital piece in The Wine Guide's armoury.
