Let's refresh wine education
by becoming the experts of our own palate, 
truly identifying what it is we love and what we don’t through 
the breakdown of a wine’s structural elements. 

through community
we’ll explore this together while we expand our horizons and 
discover new wines from all over the world,
and especially in our own backyards.

We hear the terms acidity,
alcohol, and body
but do we really know what they mean? 


What does acidity  feel like? 
Does it have a  taste? 
What does alcohol  feel like? 
Where do we  sense it?


I walk you step-by-step how to become
the expert of your own palate in my book!

A portrait of the founder, Tonia McArthur
Tonia McArthur
Founder of High Five Wine Scoring System
Wine is my passion and it brings me so much joy to rethink the way we approach wine education. It all started in 2012 when I started my wine education through WSET, currently holding my WSET Level 2 with Merit. The unexpected turn, starting a business hosting in-home wine tasting parties, was so much fun! 

Next, I moved to the Okanagan, leaving that business behind. I was ready to move on somehow, which eventually led me to a position I currently hold, Wine Club Manager, here for a local winery. 

Finally, last year, I wrote and published my very own scoring system created in my kitchen. It dawned on me that this system I’d built for my husband and I to play with on date nights was actually something far bigger. It was meant to be shared with the world. And here we are. Now an author and wine coach, you can catch me in my private group on Facebook live every Wednesday hosting scorings with new wines each week. Catch an episode of High Five Wine Academy live on zoom with us or catch the replay in our group whenever works for you. 

Outside of the world of wine I am a wife, a mother to two incredible daughters and a huge water baby. I’m either at a winery, at the beach with my family or out on my paddle board. 

Everyday I work to bring joy to my life, to my family and to all of my wine community. We hope you’ll join us!
