A very long story short...my wine journey began years ago in a restaurant in Durban piecing together wine shelves and organizing the stock for a little red wine cellar. I soon found out that what I had learned was really only the tip of the iceberg. I started reading, asking and tasting as much as possible. Fast forward, following various wine courses, a Diploma in wine, numerous blind tasting and practical exams and even a couple of blind wine tasting competitions, I finally thought I knew something about wine! Only to then discover how much it is constantly evolving - and that there will always be something new to experience.

More recently, I have discovered the joy of how much more one can learn when sharing in wine and food, which is really what brought me to this point. As we spend so much of our normal lives rushing about, I prefer an unhurried and personalized approach to our tours. I want to share a small deep dive into the selected vines and cellars and how each relate to the industry as a whole, both regionally and internationally. Besides this, I have been working in the hospitality industry for over 20 years, a registered tour guide since 2019, and I work as a sommelier for a restaurant in Cape Town, with a highly respected wine program.
