Alicia fell in love with the art of wine while first working in a fine dining Mediterranean restaurant. It was there where she gained curiosity as to how a sommelier chooses their best wine pairing; it opened up a whole new world for her - from the art of interaction with diners, to discovering cultures and flavours and how they can bring people of different backgrounds together. Alicia went on to complete a Sommelier course to gain in-depth knowledge as well as further refine her tasting abilities and palate, and has since went on to work at numerous Michelin restaurants.
