Hi, I'm Hope, your WSET level 1 - 3 Course educator

Hope discovered her passion for wine while traveling the world and continues to explore new wine regions whenever she can. She holds the WSET Diploma and divides her time between wine education and compliance consulting. While she has a soft spot for Spanish reds and whites from Margaret River, Hope’s heart (and glass) often returns to a classic California Cabernet Sauvignon when visiting family in the United States.

Hi, I'm Angelo, your wset 1 & 2 educator

Angelo is an Italian wine lover from Puglia who's been living between Italy, the UK, and the Netherlands working across the sports, travel, and wine industries. Starting as a sports journalist, he has progressively committed to wine following a sommelier course attended just for personal knowledge back in 2010. He is currently completing the WSET Level 4 Diploma and has practiced wine education through masterclasses, staff trainings, and wine trips led during his jobs in wineries, tour operators, tourist boards, and a premium wine shop in London. His passion for wine extends to culinary exploration, making him the go-to person for restaurant recommendations during your travels, with his favorite wine destination being the island of Madeira.
