Serious wine.
Minus the ego.
Bringing destination wine culture to your dining rooms. We strip away the elitism and keep the wonder, turning every glass into an invitation to travel, discover, learn and, most importantly, enjoy.
For Venues
You cook, I pour.
Turn quiet nights into high-margin destination services. Zero upfront capital.
Private Events
Dinner parties, birthdays, hens and weekends away: a private tasting, tailored to your crowd.
Partners
Accomodation hosts, event managers. Give your guests an exclusive sommelier tasting as part of their stay or event.
Turn slow nights
into your most profitable evening.
Across Victoria, incredible chefs and welcoming bistros often operate without a dedicated sommelier.
I bring European winemaking terroir and infectious, down-to-earth hospitality to your floor. You cook, I pour.
Floor Takeovers
I step directly onto your floor on a typically quiet night. I curate and pour an exceptional lineup of wines. Your kitchen shines with food pairings, while beverage revenue skyrockets.
Masterclasses & Tastings
Engage passionate locals with fun and insightful ticketed sessions. Themes like “Demystifying Barolos” or “Volcanic Terroirs”. We pre-sell tickets together to lock in venue profits before the doors open.
Cellar Strategy
Wine lists are not simply collections of bottles. They are puzzles where each piece leads to the next and tells its unique story, leaving your client excited to come back for the next chapter.
Ready to schedule your venue's first takeover?
Partnering with select dining rooms, cafes, bistros, and cellar doors. Everywhere in Victoria.
Your table, your crowd,
your private sommelier.
Whether it’s a milestone dinner party, a hens weekend on the coast, or a long lunch with friends, a great wine tasting shouldn’t feel like a classroom lecture.
You are either a wine enthusiast or you are about to become one. Tailored to your taste and budget.
Celebrations
Hosting a birthday, anniversary, or intimate dinner at home? I curate the wine flight around your menu, pour table-side, and bring the stories behind every bottle directly to your dining room.
Weekends Away & Hens
Turn an afternoon or evening at your holiday house into an interactive, fun, and completely unpretentious guided tasting.
Deep-Dive
For curious palates ready to explore deeper. Comparative tastings — Barolo vs. Burgundy, Old World vs. New World, or rare back-vintage verticals — poured and unpacked in private.
Planning a dinner party, hens, or weekend away?
Tell me about your group, your occasion, and what you love to drink — I’ll design the flight.
Elevate every guest stay
with an exclusive cellar experience.
Guests booking premium accommodation or bespoke retreats aren’t just looking for a place to sleep — they’re looking for unforgettable local experiences.
I partner with luxury hosts and event planners to deliver private in-house wine tastings. Zero admin for you, unforgettable hospitality for your guests.

Old World Roots, Poured in Victoria
My Terroir
I wish I could tell you that I come from a dynasty of Italian winemakers. The truth? I enrolled in Winemaking as a 20-year-old politics student in Milan simply because I thought it was the best way to impress girls.
It didn’t turn out poorly at all — professionally speaking. Over the next decade, I worked harvests and cellars across Barolo, Champagne, Napa Valley, Marlborough, Tuscany, McLaren Vale... before realising I prefer to drink the wine than make it.
Wine is the only drink capable of bottling a landscape, and I believe everyone should enjoy it. Whether you’re already a wine enthusiast hunting your next rare allocation, or you genuinely wonder if Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of Cab and Sav, I’m here to guide your journey—minus the ego.
Let's Talk
Only Marco on the other side. No bots, no assistants, no middlemen.
