About Us
Welcome to Marivinera! My sommelier journey began 7 years ago.
I remember when my husband said to me: “why don’t you get certified?” My response was that I couldn’t because I had a full time job, 3 children and him! Another part of me was thinking that I was too old to learn something new, especially something as intense as a wine certification.
Without my knowledge, my husband had enrolled me on the WSET level 1 class and a test date was already set. Challenge accepted!
Once I passed level 1, then it became an addiction, not to the wine (trust me, when you are studying wine you barely drink), but to learning. It’s a great feeling to realize that your brain can continue to absorb information.
The rest as they say is history. I went on to obtain my level 2 and level 3 certification, I was part of the first Spanish Wine Scholar graduating class and became an Albariño wine ambassador.
Now I own a wine education business, where I tutor others, teach fun classes and help businesses and customers make educated wine purchasing decisions.
I started by saying this is a journey because I continue on this wonderful path of learning more about the world of wine.
