ABOUT VELVA MOSHER-KNAPP
After a successful career in the public sector, I stepped into a second act in the world of wine driven by curiosity, continuous learning, and a genuine passion for making wine approachable and meaningful for others.I hold the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Level 3 Award in Wines, a certification that reflects both rigorous study and a deep commitment to understanding the people, places, and stories behind every bottle.As Director of Wine & Education at Brown’s Kitchen and founder of Women Who Wine Tallahassee, I focus on creating engaging, welcoming spaces where people can explore wine without intimidation. Through curated tastings, wine dinners, and educational events, my goal is to help others build confidence while discovering what they truly enjoy.My approach to wine education blends storytelling, regional and varietal exploration, food pairing, and real-world practicality. Whether teaching a class, curating a wine program, or guiding a tasting, I believe wine should feel both accessible and inspiring.Wine, to me, is an ongoing journey of discovery and I love helping others find their own path into it.
