Dany, wine professional
42 years of experience and passion at your service! 🤗
My first wine tasting dates back to 1981. Since then, I have toured the wine world; 88 countries, 5 continents, including 6 years in France, until 2011.
My experience and knowledge as a sommelier, winegrower, oenologist and wine merchant, allow you to more easily understand wine as a whole, and to better assimilate into your daily life the tips and tricks that I will be sharing with you.
If with all my stories, passion and knowledge, I can't impress your guests, it's free. 🥰
Our FREE mobile app...
All Vin and Wine knowledge in your pocket!
None of your guests will leave empty-handed. We've packed all the info, for them, into a free and accessible mobile app.
Participants often told us: “Dany, your suggestions are very nice; choose your wines better and appreciate them, we agree. But don't you just have a wine list to suggest to us?”
Human nature being what it is in 2017, we invented a mobile application, unique in the world, that allows you to know and order the best wines directly from the vineyard!

Where is the ingredient list on wine bottles?
If you like to eat to stay healthy, that has to apply to the wines you drink too. In our wine tastings, we guide your guests to wines without headaches or other unwanted side effects.
Until there is a list of ingredients on wine bottles, it will be imperative to be aware of your choices.
Awareness that will be greatly appreciated by all your guests. ❤️
“WOW! Thank you for bringing our ignorance to light with simplicity, and imparting the best skills with passion. Very interesting, memorable!”
“It's more than just a wine tasting event. It's a rich culture where you have the opportunity and pleasure to sit with amazing hosts and other guests like you. Wine tasting n t was just the beginning. Experiencing new artistic wines not readily available to the public, Dany brings more than wine. One of the most memorable experiences you will have with an informative session and friendly conversational dinner. We had the opportunity to develop a solid foundation of the basics of wine tasting. By learning the proper techniques to evoke all of your senses, you will truly be amazed. Dany's passion radiates throughout the event and creates an ambience positive for the evening. With laughter and pleasant memories, this is truly an experience not to be missed. Unfortunately, my words still pale in comparison to the experience I had. Thank you for doing what you do, you do it very well. Thank you Dany”.
“I would like to share my experience at Vin & Wine. My lack of knowledge and appreciation of wine is what first interested me in this event. My expectations were simple: at the end of the evening, to leave knowing a little more about how to appreciate wine. Not only did the whole experience exceed my expectations, but I came away learning not only to appreciate certain aspects of wine, but more importantly, to use wine to complement your way of life. I am very grateful to have been able to participate in the event, I would recommend it to everyone, from beginners to advanced, and I am certainly interested in attending another similar event. Thank you Dany”
Long story short…
Vin and Wine started in 2011, in my kitchen in St-Lazare, in the western suburbs of Montreal. Fresh from France, I was tasting the wines from my cellar, which I had brought with me from Europe.
To the amazement of my neighbours, it was clear that they did not know what wine was. The delicious nectar I taught them to savour had nothing to do with the wines they were used to.
My initial idea was to be a “private importer”. However, it is clear that my stories and my knowledge were more exciting than the business model imposed by the state company, meaning the SAQ.
So I placed a few advertisements for workshops and wine tasting, and it was an immediate success. I hosted 4 to 5 wine tastings a week all over Quebec. Often two on the same day. 🤷🏼♂️
In short, the formula is very popular and today, after more than 1000 workshops, it is the “perfected” version that you will benefit from. 🤗
