The Cultured Somm

The Cultured Somm Our founder, a seasoned sommelier, realized that there was a gap in the market for a comprehensive, approachable, and joyful international wine community.

Where Wine Meets Wanderlust: Join a Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Level 3 with Merit Sommelier and former United States diplomat in curated, exceptional wine experiences, education, & cultural adventures around the globe. The Cultured Somm was born from a passion for the finer things in life and a desire to share unique discoveries from the world of global wine, food, and travel. She envisi

oned a place where everyone from novices to connoisseurs could come together to explore, learn, and celebrate the world of wine. Inspired by the French concept of 'Joie de Vivre,' or the joy of living, we set out to create more than just a wine club – we've built a community that embraces life's most beautiful moments, from intimate tastings at home to grand adventures across the globe. We believe that wine is not just a beverage, but a passport to culture, connection, and unforgettable experiences. With authentic cultural experiences, we’re bringing high taste to all levels of exposure to the world of wine and wanderlust. Our journey begins with curated wine tastings and events, and will soon expand into a vibrant hub for wine lovers, offering everything from cellar recommendations, entertaining selections and pairing suggestions with recipes, to travel guides within a membership structure, all designed to help our community sip, savor, and celebrate life to the fullest. We welcome you to join us as we cultivate a community celebrating the joy of living life to its fullest.

Proof that Ch*****ne dominates The Cultured Somm’s rotation, not a surprise when your mission is celebrating life & cultivating joie de vivre!

Our August certainly “sipped away like a bottle of w**e,” as the eloquent Taylor Swift put it. We can think of no better way to spend the last days of summer than enjoying excellent w**e with stellar people.

Cheers to these last days of summer 🍾🥂 May you sip & savor some great bottles with friends, family, & fellow w**e lovers.

Are you trying to soak in every last hour of daylight left this Summer with your besties? If so, Cultured Somm has the perfect Girls Night Out that feels more like a Girls Night In full of relaxation & fun for you on Wednesday September 2nd from 6:30-8:30 pm!

Picture this: you throw on your comfiest romper & grab a wrap in case it gets chilly, head over to The Cultured Somm’s backyard sanctuary just a few miles from the heart of downtown Annapolis, and you’re greeted with a cold glass of Ch*****ne upon arrival. Bubbly beverage in hand, you stroll around the pool searching for the perfect seat surrounding the massive outdoor TV and fireplace, & then settle in with your besties (come with some or make new ones)! Once everyone is settled, we’ll watch the Widow Clicquot, the perfect movie to transport you to the vineyards and ch*****ne caves of France. You’ll learn about the early days of making Ch*****ne while The Cultured Somm pours you 4 different, delicious Ch*****nes and we’ll enjoy yummy Ch*****ne-themed, movie theater-worthy snacks!

You deserve this. You’ve earned this. So grab your girls & treat yourselves!! Tickets available at www.theculturedsomm.com/classes and 🔗 in Bio.

Kinda chic to cook the perfect one dish meal featuring farm fresh summer tomatoes & basil + ooey gooey Brie (I love Trader Joe’s double crème Brie for this recipe)!

It’s super simple, can marinate all day while you’re out enjoying these long summer days, & then all you need to do is boil some water, cook your pasta & open some delicious white w**e!
