nice to meet you!
My name is Alicia, I’ve worked in the wine industry for 10 years now and I’m passionate about education.
I’ve worked as a Sommelier for most of my career, in both swanky London restaurants and restaurants in Spain! I’m now working as an events and education co-ordinator for a wine distributor.
To me, wine is a study of the world, it combines art, science, geography, history and culture, and is great fun!
Qualifications wise, I’m a Certified Sommelier and hold the WSET Level 4 Diploma.
I believe wine education should be accessible to all, and I’m passionate about making it easier to understand and achieve.
