About

Hi, I’m Janne van Lieshout, a passionate wine educator and founder of Sommeljane. I love connecting people with wine through education, tastings, and approachable experiences. I run a small web shop and offer freelance sommelier services, while helping clients discover wines they love.

When I’m not teaching or hosting tastings, I enjoy shaping brands, crafting engaging social media content, and collaborating with partners to bring compelling wine stories to life. I thrive on creating meaningful experiences and sharing knowledge in a friendly, down‑to‑earth way.
