Why I Began Writing

Hi, I’m Georgie!

Fellow wine professionals and lovers rejoice! Welcome to my platform. With a degree in Viticulture & Oenology, 4 harvests across the globe, a WSET qualification, and 10 years in hospitality, it is safe to say I am a friend of the grape. Wine is not just my career, it is my passion and a passion I wish to share with you.

My Odyssey

I feel writing is a true expression of myself. Despite showing passion and promise, I have never being truly confident in showing it to others. Unsure of how I would differentiate myself in a sea of travel blogs, I never pursued it. Instead, using photographs to help capture my odyssey. I have been far and wide, with wine being a latter but integral part of it.

The Oenodyssey allows the opportunity to combine my passions for travel, wine and writing.

Building a community

The wine industry and the community I have met through it hold a special place in my heart. However, on my oenodyssey, I have faed issues with inaccessibility and gatekeeping of information. This has given desire to creating a platform of which to share stories and help educate from within the industry. For viticulturists to winemakers to wine enthusiasts and anyone in-between who would like to tip their toe into the world of production. There is a reason we are an industry of passionate people and I think that passion deserves to be shared.
