Since 2017 I have been learning and enjoying wine on a professional level. I have completed the WSET Level III as well as numerous region specific education seminars. I started hosting wine events in and around the city starting in 2018. In 2020 I started virtual wine tastings and workshops during the lockdown. I partnered with small online retail shops like Primal Wine and MYSA, Wine Regions like the Austrian Wine Board, and keynote speakers such as writer Simon J. Woolf, Master Sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier, Importer Jenny Lefcourt, Mateja Graver, Sommelier Doreen Winkler, and Sommelier Charles Springfield. I was even featured on WFLA Daytime TV and in the Huff Post as part of The Best Virtual Wine Tastings To Join During Coronavirus Lockdown. I now have expanded my services to Monmouth County, NJ and greater New Jersey.
I’m from Monmouth County, born and raised. I can’t begin to express how exciting it is to be working within the area I grew up. A key feature of my business plan is to support local bottle shops as opposed to big chains. I strive to support privately owned local businesses as much as possible. View me as your local guide for all things wine. Whether you’re enjoying a wine tasting with a group of your closest friends, planning a private dinner party, or you’re interested in more exclusive, curated services I’m here to provide the best overall experience for my clients. My goal is to always have happy clients. Thank you for choosing to work with me.
To book any service please email or text me. I will respond within 24 hours or 48 hours on weekends. I need a minimum of two weeks notice for all private events.
All events outside of Monmouth County or over an hour are subject to a $100 travel surcharge. Travel over 2 hours is prorated accordingly. Sommelier substitutions may also occur.

“I hired Amanda from The Real Housewine to host a virtual employee networking event, and wow, I’m so glad I did! 🍷
We held two sessions with her, and both were fantastic. Amanda is personable, incredibly knowledgeable, and her passion for wine shines through in everything she does. She came fully prepared with a great PowerPoint that guided our group through each tasting. The feedback on her as the host has been 5-stars! We learned a lot and had several “ah-ha” moments along the way.
I highly recommend The Real Housewine and would jump at the chance to work with Amanda again!”

“I had the most incredible experience at our wine tasting with Amanda — I would recommend her again and again! From start to finish, everything was absolutely fabulous. The selection was thoughtful, the pairings were spot-on, and Amanda’s knowledge and enthusiasm made the whole event engaging and fun. Even the ordering process for the wines was smooth and seamless — every detail was handled perfectly.
If you’re looking for someone who truly knows how to create a memorable wine experience, Amanda is the one. 🍷✨”

“We had Amanda at my wife’s 40th birthday party this past weekend. She was amazing to work with and helped every step of the way. She coordinated 4 different wines based on preferences and knocked it out of the park during the party. She had everything taken care of which was a huge relief while trying to plan the other aspects of the party. We received many compliments about her service from guests. For our party, she was the perfect middle ground between full wine tasting and bartender. Her attention to detail and knowledgeable recommendations are the perfect combination for a successful party.”

“We had Amanda at our Summer Soiree. She worked with me to build the menu, select the wines and even color coordinated the pairing materials to our color theme. We had such a great time and she is very knowledge and funny. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her again!”
