Meet Ivan, our new Sommelier đ·
Wine wasnât something Ivan discovered... it was something he grew up with. Raised in a family with a deep passion for the craft, his grandfather was a winemaker in Piedmont, and that early connection to the vine shaped everything that followed.
To turn passion into profession, Ivan spent three years studying in Florence with the Italian Sommelier Association, completing his certification with the Associazione Italiana Sommelier. Now he brings that expertise, that heritage and that genuine love of wine to every table at Matilda Bay.
Next time youâre in, ask Ivan for a recommendation. We have a feeling you wonât be disappointed đŸ
