Since completing her degree in hotel management and joining Fairways as Head sommelier, Daniela has been enjoying her new role and says that it is her destiny. "Wine has always been a big part of my life," she says. "As a child, I remember my maternal grandfather bringing up demijohns of wine straight from the cellar. There was always that pungent smell of young wine in the air. "But it was my father who encouraged me and sparked my curiosity the most. We used to play a guessing game where I had to smell the wine and guess the type of grape. He told me great stories about his time working in a vineyard producing Lafoes wine in the Dão region of northern Portugal, which is where my family and I are from."While studying for her degree at the University of the Algarve in Faro, and gaining specialist wine qualifications, she gained work experience at local fine dining establishments, as well as Taylor's Port in Vila Nova de Gaia in Porto." hope my wine expertise will help members and guests enjoy their wining and dining experiences even more - SEASONS MAGAZINE
