Kaiya Kirk, Lead Wine Educator
Kaiya is an internationally-certified wine expert with a keen interest in exploring emerging wine regions, like Lebanon.
A Wine Unify Fellow, Kaiya completed her Wines and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) Level 1 with a perfect score. She completed WSET Level 2 with distinction.
She’s a passionate theater-maker, amateur foodie, and wine lover! She is passionate about creating community wherever she goes and, like water, takes the shape of her container. You can typically find her covered in flour singing show tunes at the top of her lungs into a wine bottle fashioned as a microphone.

Kaiya serves her community on the Board of the Shires Young Professionals, regular volunteer around town and as a foster for a local cat rescue. She can sniff out a Cab Franc anywhere, any time.
