Welcome to the world of wine
I’m not the first man in my family to love wine, but I am the first who can say he drinks with a diploma. This passion, inherited and nurtured, took a clearer, more structured shape when I completed the WSET Level 3 Award in Wines.
For me, learning about wine never stops. Curiosity and the wish to understand every grape, every terroir and every story hidden in the glass keep me going: next on my list are the WSET Level 4 Diploma and the Wine Scholar Guild.
Wine is not just a drink to me; it’s a blend of tradition, passion and science. Every tasting is a lesson, every bottle a story.
Stories, not just numbers
From the vineyards of Tuscany to Romania’s wineries, every wine has something to say: the sun on the grapes, the people who worked the land, the traditions that flavour every glass.
Memorable experiences
Some moments stay with us: laughter that still echoes and wines that still delight. Evenings with friends or special events where every minute becomes a memory.
Give an experience, not an object
A voucher for a private tasting or a masterclass is the gift nobody forgets: for Christmas, a birthday, or your clients and partners.
Ask for a gift voucherLet’s create something memorable together.
I work with wineries, brands, event organisers and media who want wine presented with authority and charm.

I come to your place: your home, garden, restaurant or event venue. I’m based in Brașov; for other cities, message me and we’ll find a way.
How much does a tasting or event cost?
It depends on the type of event, the number of guests and the wines chosen. Send me the details on WhatsApp and I’ll put together an offer.
