Monique’s Story

Vinothérapie was founded by Monique Eddleton, who spent 25 years in corporate strategy before pursuing her passion for wine. After leading brand strategy, consumer insights, and business transformation initiatives across industries, she earned her sommelier certification and created Vinothérapie—where wine becomes a vehicle for leadership development and strategic thinking.

Monique understands what makes teams effective, how leaders make decisions under pressure, and why the most impactful learning happens through experience rather than theory. She brings that strategic lens to every workshop, using wine not just as the subject matter, but as the teaching tool itself—helping organizations develop critical skills while enjoying a world-class tasting experience.

Certifications:

WSET II with Distinction in both Wine and Spirits
Certified Champagne Specialist with Comité Champagne
Master’s Degree Candidate, Wine and Beverage Management; Culinary Institute of America
