Miranda Elliot
Miranda Elliot is a sommelier with over 11 years of experience working for a wide range of Chicago restaurants, such as Moto Restaurant and Les Nomades, and also for wine distributors, including Connoisseur Wines and Martine's Wines. She recently launched her own wine school, Elliot Wine School, which offers beverage classes and community-building events, Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) certifications, Sake Sommelier Association courses and certification, private events, and consulting. Her school aims to be a supportive and inclusive environment for all people to learn about wine, whether wine novices, wine professionals, or somewhere in between. She especially hopes to create an environment where all students, especially BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and female students can thrive and be their authentic selves in the beverage world.
