DETAILS

Friends & the City is teaming up with Tipsy Rose Wines winemaker & founder Maria Chiancola for an evening that blends wine tasting, education, & honest conversation, all in the spirit of COMMUNITY & CONNECTION

This isn't just about ordering a glass of red.

It's about learning how to expand your wine palate, understand the notes you actually enjoy, & confidently talk about wine without overthinking it. Maria will guide us through an interactive wine experience that makes wine feel approachable, fun, & a little less intimidating.

Along the way, Maria will also share her journey building Tipsy Rose Wines, including how one of her early mistakes unexpectedly turned into a success, plus lessons learned from growing a business from the ground up.

Marina Aslanidou launched Friends & the City App on June 1st 2025, in an effort to turn we should hang out into real plans & real friendships.

FATC is not a Dating App. It's a Doing App: swipe on a concert/game/show you want to go, we'll show you who else is going, connect & go together
