  3. Conduct wine tastings, pairing dinners, and masterclasses for hotel guests and corporate clients
  4. Manage the wine cellar — inventory, storage conditions, procurement, and vintages
  5. Train F&B staff on wine basics, service etiquette, and upselling techniques
  6. Work closely with the Executive Chef to align wine programs with seasonal menus
  7. Build relationships with wine importers, distributors, and premium wine brands
  8. Drive beverage revenue through wine upselling and curated pairing experiences
