Oenophiles | Opposites | Gourmands | raconteurs

Married Two Wine was founded by two individuals crazy about wine and one another. They invite you to join their explorative and fun-filled vinous journey that will help you discover your own. Whether you just enjoy drinking a good glass of wine, want to improve your wine knowledge, wow your guests, or looking at elevating your own wine brand, we can assist.

Introducing Your Wine Affluencers: Samarie and Georgio Meletiou

What happened to the vibrant beginnings of MarriedTwoWine, you ask? While our video wine reviews and personal musings initially drew the attention of wine lovers, we’ve since evolved into something even more dynamic. Beyond sharing our wine experiences on social media, we’ve been bringing the joy of wine directly to homes and workplaces.

Our journey has led us to expand our services, collaborating with wine brands and businesses, and the launch of WINE2NITE. This social experience is perfect for private wine clubs, groups of friends, or any gathering of 10 to 30 guests. Imagine enjoying an interactive masterclass, complete with wines from esteemed producers, all tailored to your preferences. Whether you’re indulging in favourites, discovering new gems, or gaining expert tips on food pairings, WINE2NITE is crafted to elevate your wine journey.

Want to take it a step further? We can even bring in a chef to create a culinary pairing experience that matches the wines we present. Every detail is curated with your preferences in mind, ensuring a memorable and personalized event.

    THE ARTIST

    Malawian born, I remain a barefooted child at heart. Since graduating from Visual Arts at the University of Stellenbosch, wine became an integral part of my career. I celebrate both my personal wine experiences and deep respect for nature through every piece I create.

    THE SOMMELIER

    The Italian everybody wants at their dinner table.  If he is not out fishing or watching Grand Prix, you will find Georgio in the kitchen cooking with a glass of wine – true to his Italian heritage. Georgio has been in the hospitality industry for 28 years; the last 17 years as a Sommelier.
