Welcome to the Canny Grapes Champagne Club

Anja’s passion for champagne was ignited when she entered the 2016 Vin de Champagne Awards studying tirelessly all about champagne and becoming one of six professional finalists in Australia. Ever since, Anja has invited wine lovers and champagne enthusiasts to appreciate and celebrate the incredibly complex world of French champagne. Always curious to dive deeper into the world of Champagne, expanding her knowledge, Anja decided to enrol in the Champagne Master Level Program by The Wine Scholar Guild, graduating in March 2024.

After years of sharing her knowledge and passion for champagne, curating and hosting champagne events in Perth, building a wonderful kind-hearted community, visiting the Champagne region and travelling for champagne events within Australia, Anja started the CG Champagne Club. Here she is dedicated to offer education focussed champagne experiences beyond the bottle, connecting with Champagne as a place, the vision and ambition behind the producers and guiding through selected tastings.
