More about today’s guest

Florencia is a passionate wine professional with over 13 years of experience in the industry. Originally from Argentina, she studied winemaking and worked harvests making wine from Napa to Burgundy and Croatia. Now based in the vibrant city of London, she's on a mission to become a Master of Wine.

She's a brand ambassador, content creator, and marketing strategist all in one, with a knack for reimagining the way we engage with wine.

Florencia's passion lies in modern wine brands that are innovative, sustainable, and fit the ever-evolving desires of today's consumers. But for her, it's not just about the wine itself. She also cares deeply about building community, supporting diversity, and empowering women in the industry. With Florencia, you'll find someone who is not only passionate about her craft but also dedicated to making a positive impact. She embodies the spirit of change and her enthusiasm is contagious.
