Background

About Melissa Giges

I’m a passionate and creative professional with a unique career path that blends the worlds of hospitality, spirits, wine, and music. Over the years, I’ve built a dynamic and unconventional career, following my curiosity, creativity, and love for connection. From traveling the world to learn the craft behind wine, spirits, and food, to designing and leading tastings, developing cocktail programs, and building a loyal client base, I’ve turned passion into expertise. As Co-Founder & Curator of Drink Eat And The People We Meet, I’ve hosted in-person and virtual tasting experiences, pairing education with fun and community. As a recording artist signed to ECR Music Group, I’ve performed at iconic venues including the White House, Lincoln Center, and MetLife Stadium, with original songs aired on TV and radio. Most recently, I’ve been immersed in the world of whisk(e)y building strong relationships with accounts, distributor partners, and passionate fans. I thrive on connection, storytelling, and helping brands come to life in authentic ways. I’m always open to new opportunities to collaborate, grow, and keep learning — feel free to reach out!
