The pleasure of wine and wine education has been Angelo Tavernaro’s life long passion. Born to a farming family in Northern Italy, Tavernaro was introduced at an early age to the joy of pairing wine with food. Working his way through Europe and ultimately to Las Vegas, Nevada, in the hospitality industry, Tavernaro has developed an extensive education in wine pairing, buying, and tasting.

Master Sommelier Angelo Tavernaro

Tavernaro is a certified Wine Educator and one of two Master Sommelier’s in Washington. The term Master Sommelier is a French word meaning “to carry the wine.” A Master Sommelier typically selects, buys, pairs wine with food and recommends certain varietals for restaurants, resorts, wine cellars and distributors. To earn the title of Master Sommelier, one must pass a series of extensive and complicated tests on wine varietals, tasting and the history of grapes.
