I have had the privilege of working in some of Porto's finest establishments, serving as a waiter, manager, and sommelier. These roles have given me a deep understanding of the intricacies of the restaurant industry and allowed me to refine my skills in delivering exceptional service.

These experiences have not only expanded my own culinary horizons but also reinforced my commitment to showcasing the very best that Porto has to offer.
To further enhance my expertise, I pursued and achieved the prestigious WSET Level 3 wine certification.

I am excited to share my knowledge and guide you through the enchanting world of wine and its harmonious connection with exquisite cuisine.
