Living the Expat Dream: How Amandine Built a Life, Business & Identity in Australia

Do you dream of building a vibrant life that truly reflects who you are? In this episode, I sit down with Amandine Fournier, a French expat who’s called Australia home for 12 years—though her journey with wine has taken her across continents. From European vineyards to fine dining in the Southern Hemisphere, her path has been shaped by curiosity, culture, and sensory discovery. Driven by the question “Why wine?”, Amandine created Vinesthesia, a unique tasting experience that helps people reconnect with wine through intuition, memory, and the senses.

We explore her evolution from a one-year adventure to a new life abroad, her shift from sommelier to entrepreneur, and how personal challenges sparked deep transformation. She opens up about the realities of entrepreneurship, the magic of storytelling, and the power of community.

Join us for an inspiring conversation about expat life, resilience, and finding purpose through passion.
