About Jo Maclean

I started working with wine in 1997 and after stints in retail, buying and marketing I set up on my own in 2011, to run wine tastings for the thirsty folk of Tunbridge Wells. Food and wine go naturally hand in hand and as I love cooking I decided to offer small plates of tapas-sized food pairings with the wines, to make the tasting more relevant and even more enjoyable. Demand for food at the tastings has grown and nowadays I also offer full Wine Dinners; these are multiple course affairs accompanied by different styles of wine.

I have my Diploma in wine from the Wine and Spirit Education Trust, the global leader in wine qualifications, and I am rated 5/5 by the Food Standards Agency for food hygiene. But most of all I love drinking lots of different wines and enjoying them with foods I've cooked.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like to know more about joining one of my organised tastings or dinners, or if you'd like a privately run event at home or at work. You can also follow me at @wine.savvy

Best wishes.
