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.
Visiting Sommelier
Turn quiet nights into high-margin destination services. You cook, I pour. Zero upfront capital.
Marco's Wine Bar
A wine sanctuary where high-end and welcoming hospitality come hand in hand.
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, rare allocations, 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.
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.
