Dr Ron Georgiou MW
One of only 415 Masters of Wine worldwide and one of 25 Australian Masters of Wine, Ron has been described as the wine industry’s very own Superman: a Dentist by day, a Master of Wine by night. Ron sees the contrasts between these two roles as one of the keys to his success as he merges out of the ordinary concepts and high-end expertise to continually deliver fascinating new experiences.
Ron began his Masters of Wine study programme in 1996, which is considered one of the world’s most difficult education programs (the course has a 93% failure rate). After four years of extensive study and dedicated ‘wine education’ travel, Ron received the title of Master of Wine in 2000. This signifies the highest level of educational achievement for the wine industry in the world.
Over the last 23 years Dr Georgiou has worked with luxury hotels, airlines, retail and corporate clients around the globe. He has worked closely with a number of high-profile chefs including Gordon Ramsay and Luke Mangan, developing award-winning programs and wine cellars, including the Glass Bistro in Sydney and the world’s first underwater cellar in the Conrad Resort and Spa Maldives.
Our vision is to connect and engage people and businesses by delivering memorable, immersive, and transformative wine experiences that are accessible to all.
