Sommelier

Alisa Urbanska

With a background in journalism, hospitality, stand-up comedy and aviation, I bring a dynamic lens to the world of wine. My formal journey began with the "Sensory Techniques for Wine Analysis" course at UC Davis.

This was followed by immersive visits and tastings across renowned wine regions including Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Argentina, Chile, California and South Africa.

My mission is to cultivate the wine culture in Abu Dhabi by sharing global insights and my own experience, through education, storytelling and curated events.
