Wine and Food Pairing

My Journey as a Sommelier

Becoming a certified sommelier in 2014 was the start of an incredible chapter in my life. This passion began through a close connection with the owners of a local vineyard and winery, where I had the privilege of helping them build their dream over the course of more than 12 years. Inspired by their dedication and the craft of winemaking, I decided to deepen my knowledge when their winemaker pursued sommelier certification—I joined the journey the very next year.

The course was an unforgettable experience, blending education with the joy of discovery, and it solidified my love for the intricate art of wine and food pairing. This page is where I share my experiences, knowledge, and the ongoing adventures that this passion continues to inspire.
