***About Vincenzo Arnese ***
Head Sommelier at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester
Originating from Napoli, Vincenzo developed a keen interest in wine from a young age, when his grandfather made him try his homemade wine at the age of five. This moment had a strong impression on him; so much so, that he decided to study hospitality and specialise in sommellerie, while at hospitality school in Stresa in Italy.
Following this, Vincenzo went on to work for prestigious hotels in Switzerland, England, and Australia, starting in 2008 at The Waterside Inn, in Bray. Moving to Australia’s culinary capital, Melbourne in 2012, Vincenzo’s next roles were in some of the most prestigious establishments including Vue de Monde, one of Australia’s finest gastronomic restaurants. Leaving Australia for London, Vincenzo took the position of Head Sommelier & Wine Buyer with Heston Blumenthal in 2013.
Since 2021, Vincenzo Arnese is Head Sommelier at the famous three Michelin star Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester.
He has graduated with his WSET Diploma and successfully accomplished the Advanced examination of the Court of Master Sommelier.
He was winner of the Bellavita/UKSA ‘Best Sommelier UK’ in 2015 and was Runner up of 2019 UK Ruinart Sommelier Challenge.
** About London Wine Competition***
The London Wine Competition is an international wine competition organized by Beverage Trade Network. The competition looks to recognise, reward and help promote wine brands that have successfully been created to identify with and target a specific wine drinker. For any wine brand to earn its place on a retailer’s shelf or a restaurant’s wine list – and then vitally stay there – they need to be marketable and consumer-driven and not just produced in the general hope it can find enough people willing to sell and buy it.
That is why the London Wine Competition is different. It will single out and shine the spotlight on those wine brands that consumers really want to buy and have a clear market value for trade buyers.
