Winemaker Tasting ~ Belinda Van Eyssen of The Cutting

Winemaker Tasting ~ Belinda Van Eyssen of The Cutting

We are so excited to be welcoming Belinda Van Eyssen of The Cutting for an exclusive ‘Taste with the Winemaker’ event on Thursday 20th November!

Belinda van Eyssen didn’t grow up dreaming of winemaking - wine wasn’t even on her radar. Where she grew up in South Africa, wine was for the elite, and alcohol carried a stigma. But a deep dive into chemical analysis as a food technologist flipped the script, sparking a curiosity that led to a vintage internship in California and, eventually, a whole new life in Australia. Now, alongside her husband, Daniel McDonald, she runs The Cutting, crafting wines with sustainability, transparency, and precision at forefront. A maker of great wine, yes, Belinda also challenges industry norms, asking the tough questions about representation, and proving that real change starts from the ground up.

You'll taste four half-glasses of Belinda’s wine - her usual range of Shiraz, Grenache & Cinsault, but also a little surprise release which she’ll reveal in due course! We can’t wait to see you there.

DATE: Thursday 20th November
TIME: Book anytime 6-9pm
PRICE: $44pp.

Famelia is a great and welcoming space, all about empowering women in business. Amelia is very knowledgeable and goes out of her way to share her knowledge and love for wine.

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.
