Taste with the Winemaker Event ~ Steffi Snook of Yayoi Wines

We are so excited to be welcoming Steffi Snook of Yayoi Wines for an exclusive ‘Taste with the Winemaker’ event on Wednesday 4th June!

Born and raised in New Zealand’s acclaimed Central Otago wine region, Steffi discovered her love for winemaking during a school trip to a local vineyard. After moving to Melbourne at 19, she immersed herself in the city’s dynamic hospitality scene, working at renowned restaurants like Rockpool, Vue De Monde, and Dinner by Heston Blumenthal. These experiences exposed her to some of the world’s greatest wines and deepened her passion for the craft.

Her winemaking journey began on the coast of Victoria, where she worked her first vintage at Bannockburn Vineyard in Geelong. She later pursued formal training with a Diploma in Wine Technology and found mentorship at Lethbridge Wines, where Ray Nadeson and Maree Collis encouraged her to create her own wines. Steffi’s dream is to one day establish her own vineyard dedicated to Chenin Blanc in Victoria, and honestly that sounds like our kind of dream too!

You'll taste six half-glasses of Steffi's wine ~ 2 white, 2 rosé and 2 red. Don’t miss this chance to try her incredible selections and hear her stories table-side. We can’t wait to see you there!


DATE: Wednesday 4th June
TIME: Anytime from 6pm
PRICE: $66pp.

I love everything Famelia stands for - empowering, amplifying and supporting women who are underrepresented, significantly in the wine industry. Loved the GenZ wine tasting with Amelia even more. It was informative, engaging and so special. Shoutout to Amelia for being so wonderful!

A friend and I attended one of the events held here - An Intro to Natural Wines - and WOW. Amelia was our teacher for the night and went above and beyond, really taking her time with our group to teach us about the natural wines. The selections were delicious and we learnt so much. Can't wait to come back and support!

I went to an event put on by Famelia and Amelia was so knowledgeable, but still made everything feel really accessible! Such a lovely experience.
