The Oyster Box, Durbanville Hills & Amarula

I’m an energetic young individual, always keen to learn new skills to enhance guests’ experience overall.

I’d like to be a senior sommelier with WSET Level 3 and well-recognised within the hospitality and wine industry.

I’m currently focusing on bettering my wine knowledge by studying the information on Winefolly.com and contained in WSET Level 2 reading material.

The stand-out experience for me of Grape to Glass was our visit to Durbanville Hills - I loved hearing the winemakers speak about their passion and tasting such terroir-driven wines.  The food and wine pairing lunch as also an eye-opening experience.  I’m so honoured and excited to be participating in this competition!
