Agostina Da Cunha

If the earth were a single state, Istanbul would be its capital. - Napoleon Bonaparte

A true nomad born in the Argentinean pampas, Agostina lived in all 5 continents before she settled down in Istanbul. After studying for diplomacy and completing an MBA, she spent the last 12 years managing a publishing house that helps countries develop successful branding campaigns to attract industry-specific investments.

As a true Argentinean, wine has always been at the heart of her life. After achieving the Level 3 Award in Wines in 2016, she became a WSET Certified Educator. Since then, she has delivered numerous wine courses both in Turkey and across international borders. Driven by a desire to blend her wine knowledge with her passion for communication, marketing and travel, she firmly believes that within each of us lies a dormant wine lover waiting to be awakened. Her dedication extends beyond wine alone, as she also proudly holds a Certified Sake Sommelier Certificate from the Sake Sommelier Association.
