A Vancouver event series aims to make learning about wine more inclusive and accessible for queer people.
Wine enthusiasts Shanique Kelly and Tadia Rosen started Fruit Forward in April, hosting monthly events where queer people can socialize while learning about wine.
“We’re really passionate about our community, and we really love wine,” said Rosen.
The four events they have held so far ranged from larger patio gatherings to more intimate wine tastings, sometimes paired with other activities like pottery decorating and painting.
Rosen says learning about wine can be costly and intimidating, especially for queer people, as wine sciences have historically been a cisgender male-dominated space.
