Let’s Wine Together
Wine Experiences with Substance, Style, and a Strong POV
I’m Megumi Calver: sommelier, founder of Merobebe, and WSET Level 3 with distinction.
I create thoughtful wine tastings, curated events, and select brand collaborations for hosts, brands, and communities looking for something polished, welcoming, and memorable.
Wine with Substance and Style
Merobebe was built to make wine feel more approachable and connected…not just to what’s in the glass, but to the people around it.
Alongside my wine expertise, I bring more than a decade of experience across marketing, communications, storytelling, and event production. I’ve also been quoted as a sommelier in outlets including Wine Enthusiast, Forbes, Chowhound, Delish, Real Simple, and more.
That combination shapes the way I approach every tasting, event, and collaboration: with an eye for hospitality, a strong instinct for customer experience, and a belief that wine can be both elevated and inviting.
Whether the goal is education, conversation, hospitality, or brand storytelling, every offering is designed to feel polished, warm, and genuinely human.
Ways to Work With Merobebe
Every engagement is tailored, but most clients work with me in one of the following ways:
Private Wine Tastings
-
This is the most classic wine-forward offering: a guided tasting designed to help guests learn, explore, and enjoy wine in a way that feels approachable and elevated.
Tastings can be customized by theme, region, varietal, producer style, or level of wine knowledge.
-
private groups
birthdays and celebrations
women’s gatherings
client entertainment
founder circles
curious drinkers who want a more thoughtful tasting experience
-
Depending on the format, tastings may include:
curated wine selection guidance
a guided tasting led by Megumi
approachable wine education and tasting notes
optional printed or takeaway materials
A guided tasting experience centered on wine education, discovery, and conversation.
This is best for when wine is the main event!
Curated Wine Events
A more immersive, wine-centered gatherings designed with intention, from concept and experience design to production support and hosting.
Best when you want a full wine-centered event, not just a tasting!
-
This offering is for hosts, communities, and brands looking for something broader than a traditional tasting.
Curated Wine Events are designed around the full guest experience: the concept, the atmosphere, the flow, and the role wine plays in bringing people together.
Depending on the event, support can range from early-stage experience design and wine curation to event production guidance, on-site hosting, and facilitation. Some events are more educational, some are more social, and some are built around a larger conversation or brand moment.
All are designed to feel polished, welcoming, and thoughtful!
-
intimate dinners and salon-style gatherings
women’s communities
founder and leadership groups
brand or hospitality events

run-of-show support
on-site hosting and facilitation
Brand Collaborations & Advisory
Select consulting and collaboration for brands looking for wine-informed ideas, customer experiences, and storytelling shaped by both sommelier expertise and more than a decade of marketing experience.
-
Merobebe partners selectively with brands, founders, and hospitality-driven businesses looking for a collaborator who brings both wine credibility and a strong background in marketing, messaging, and audience experience.
This can include wine-adjacent event concepts, educational or editorial input, partnership ideas, consumer-facing experiences, and brand storytelling support. With a background spanning sommelier work, strategic marketing, and event production, I help shape ideas that are not only thoughtful and well-executed, but also aligned with how a brand wants to show up and connect.

In addition to Merobebe, I also run Media Kamo:

Who I Work With
Merobebe’s wine services are designed for private hosts, founder communities, women’s groups, brands, and organizations looking for something more thoughtful than a standard wine event.
Whether the goal is education, hospitality, community, or brand experience, I work best with clients who value warmth, substance, and intention.
