Wine Not wednesdays
We enjoy wine and wearing pajama pants. We also enjoy growing our business, connecting with other humans, learning, and having fun along the way. Wine Not? Wednesday is a safe, small networking event. Every Wednesday - fall/winter. Edmonton has some cold winters, so we're doing it mostly virtually.
The Wine Experience

Wine is optional, of course, we will have non-alcoholic options for you.

We're so grateful to be partnering with Baseline Wine & Spirit Co. on this event. Sommelier Ryan Tycholas will be our guide in our tasting.
Wine Not? Wednesdays
the vision...
Our mission with Wine Not Wednesday (WNW) is to create a welcoming, empowering, and connective space for people to come together - to share stories, build confidence, and foster genuine relationships that fuel both personal and professional growth. A safe space to chat and solve problems or just connect.
the format
Fun and casual. Small intentionally. Each event is capped for attendance.
- 7 - 7:30 pm - Introductions - everyone gets to introduce themselves, their businesses (or something they're passionate about)
- 7:30 - 7:45 pm - Micro-learning Session - themes change weekly as we hear from a variety of subject matter experts.
- 7:45 - 8:00 pm - Q&A - your opportunity to ask the experts!
- 8 - 8:30 pm - Guided networking.
