Sip & Share – spoken word, storytelling, poetry and wine
Our Sip and Share poetry evenings continue to grow. An evening of wine, words, and wonder awaits at Rahona . Join us for a relaxed, welcoming night where poetry flows as freely as the wine.
Featuring a guest poet to spark your imagination, followed by an open mic session for anyone who wants to share their words—whether it’s your first poem or your fiftieth. Whether you’re stepping up to the mic or simply soaking it all in, you’ll be in good company.
An evening of creativity, community and connection – Sip & Share is something special.

Her poems have won and been shortlisted in various prizes, and published in journals. All That Could Be Lost is Melanie’s first collection.
