Wine Not Wednesday is about growing our businesses, connecting with other humans, learning, and having fun along the way. We share stories and foster genuine relationships that fuel both personal and professional growth.
The wine is optional.
The vibe casual.
The connections authentic.
It began as a virtual event to help fight the winter blues and we've now expanded to include monthly in-person events. The virtual events are now over for the winter season (which means spring is on its way! :).
We will typically include a brief conversation or presentation with an invited "subject matter expert" who have agreed to share their insights and speak about something that is within their zone of genius. *If you are interested in speaking, scroll to the bottom of this page and send us your pitch!
We are creating events that are community building, life enriching and fun.

Join us as our friend and sommelier, Carole Chamberlain, from Bottoms Up Wine Parties (pictured at left), leads us through a brief wine tasting & education.
Once we have our wine in hand, we're going to jump into a conversation with our very special guest, Hania, an amazing 9 year old entrepreneur and owner of Hania Williams Soap Co.
Following our conversation, we will conclude with some open mingling amongst friends and new connections.

Join us for this fun and unique, colour-inspired event! It will be hosted in the beautiful home of Interior Designer, Shelly Reimer in Edmonton.
Guests can opt in to purchase tickets at regular price ($25 + GST) OR...bring a dish and/or beverage in a randomly selected colour palette (assigned by us). There's a Dress Code for this one - you'll need to come wearing your palette - whatever that means to you. We're looking forward to seeing everyone's inspirations.
Guests will also have an opportunity to submit their biggest design colour challenge in advance and Shelly will pick one or two to show us how she would solve it.
Tickets for this one are limited only available by checking in with Jennifer - please email: jennhillmer@gmail.com to reserve your spot.

While we love our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), they are not compensated (except with our gratitude, of course!). We will tag you in all of the marketing and embrace every opportunity to share your genius with the world - and you will build some incredible new connections.
*Please note that we cannot accept every application, but we'll sure try.
