Portfolio tastings and masterclasses
If you are looking for someone to host portfolio tastings and masterclasses, I can certainly help.
The masterclasses and tasting sessions are both for wine experts and real beginners. They provide a way to learn and taste wine through exploring your senses. You will discover the stories, history and people behind the wine bottle.
I am proud to represent a wonderful selection of Italian wines in Scandinavia, Belgium and Europe. The wineries I work with produce amazing (brand) wines.
South African Wines
Recently I have started a new adventure in the wine world together with two wine professionals. The project is about South African wines of “SALD”. SALD stands for South African Liquor Distributors. We work with the best wine producers in the most renowned wine regions of South Africa.
I have a great passion for wine! Read more about my expertise on this page.
Wine Brand Ambassador
I promote the sale of wine to customers and retailers. The wines I represent have different characteristics. They are grown in different wine regions and vinified using different techniques.
To market a wine it is important to have relevant knowledge gained from experience and from wine courses.
The story of wine is one of its most valuable attributes, it links to a particular place and a particular producer. The aim of being a brand ambassador is to increase sales, to attract new consumers and to improve brand identity and brand awareness.
I have a lot of interest towards wine brands from all over the world and I am honored to represent different wineries.
Are you interested in collaborating with me? Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information.

Fine Wine & Food tour for ‘Lichtjes voor Sophia’
The ‘Stichting Vrienden van het Sophia’ asked me to make a ‘Fine Wine & Food tour in Tuscany’ available for their charity auction. They do research into children’s deseases. Of course I said yes, feeling proud to be picked out to contribute to this beautiful event.
They organize a Sophia Lichtjesdiner and charity auction at the Laurenskerk in Rotterdam. The tour contains: 4 nights in hotel Lupaia in Torrita di Siena, a lunch and wine tasting in Montepulciano with winemaker Luca, a wine tasting in Montalcino, a visit to the Chianina cow farm in Foiano della Chiana. Running with wine barrels (a local tradition) and a visit to the weekly market are also part of the program.
In short: this is a trip involving lots of delicious wines, food and unique experiences!
On top of that, this wine tour being up for auction will help the foundation to fund their research and innovative projects.
