    When it comes to consultancy, I take a holistic approach: every element of a venue matters.

    The cuisine, the people behind the scenes, the stories they want to tell through their food, and even the atmosphere and interiors. It’s about bringing all of these pieces together to create something seamless.

“Cypriot wines always take a central spot on the wine lists I curate.”

I’m deeply passionate about Cyprus, its people, and the land itself. It’s a privilege to showcase our unique grape varieties and the incredible work of our local producers.

Hello, I’m Maria

Restaurants and bars have been at the heart of my professional life since 2006. Over the years I’ve written about them, dined and drunk in them, trained teams, worked as a sommelier, and curated their wine and spirits lists.

I hold the WSET Diploma, and I write about food, drink and travel for publications in Cyprus and Greece. Above all, I love the culture of hospitality, and I believe learning about what’s in the glass should be approachable and fun.
