Today, Vittoria is in charge of building and managing the relations between Premium Wineries and Eleanor Wine. She also organizes Tasting and Wine Masterclasses with Michelin * Restaurant Sommeliers in and around Amsterdam.
In 2017 Vittoria chose to study for one year in Australia, a country with a strong wine culture and identity. She obtained the WSET Level 3 Award in Wines and the Court of Master Sommelier – Introductory Certificates.
As she said: “The topic of wine is so broad that you’ll always feel the need to know more!”
