🌍 Wine Tourism Enthusiast | Sommelier | Sailor 🍷⛵ Hello! I'm Tim, a dedicated wine professional with over five years of experience in the wine industry, spanning vineyard management, wine production, hospitality, and tourism. Currently, I am pursuing a master’s degree in Wine Tourism and Innovation, where I am focusing on creating unique and immersive wine experiences that combine my passion for both wine and travel. 🍇 Wine Industry Background I’ve worked hands-on in vineyards and cellars across several renowned wine regions, gaining expertise in harvest operations, winemaking techniques, and crafting unforgettable tasting experiences. I've served as a sommelier, leading wine tastings, guiding tours, and engaging with visitors to share the stories behind every bottle. My journey has taken me from the vineyards of Austria to the organic and biodynamic cellars of Burgundy, allowing me to understand a wide range of winemaking practices. ⛵ Sailing & Wine Adventures Beyond wine, I am also a passionate sailor. I hold a Yachtmaster license and have navigated extensively through the Adriatic Sea, particularly the stunning islands of Croatia. I am eager to merge my love for wine and sailing, offering guests bespoke wine tastings on board, curating shore excursions to vineyards, and enriching the overall guest experience. 📚 Seeking Internship Opportunities (Feb - June 2025) I am currently looking for a professional internship in the wine tourism sector from February to June 2025. My goal is to collaborate with forward-thinking wineries, luxury resorts, or wine tour operators to design innovative wine tourism experiences. My academic thesis will focus on developing a unique wine tourism product, blending my expertise in wine, hospitality, and sustainable tourism practices. If you're looking for a passionate, creative, and resourceful intern who can bring both wine expertise and sailing skills to your team, I would love to connect! Let’s create unforgettable wine journeys together.
