A WINE IDEA, founded by Sevgi Tüzel-Conghaile, is a Galway based wine centric business provides wine tastings, workshops, wine education and wine consultancy that are ideal for everyone from the enthusiast and the industry professional.

Sevgi’s passion for wine begun while she was studying food engineering in one of the wine-producing regions of her native Turkey. Following her graduation, she chased her dreams and started to work as a winemaker in her home country.

She obtained her MSc in Oenology & Viticulture from Montpellier SupAgro and Hochschule Geisenheim University. Mosel in Germany, one of the most respected wine regions, is where she experienced the practice of growing grapes in the extreme steep-slope vineyards. Later, Sevgi conducted research for my postgraduate study about the wine market in Ireland.

Currently, Sevgi provides wine tastings, workshops and consultancy through her company A WINE IDEA based in Galway.
