Rocco is fantastic! I arranged for him to curate a wine tasting dinner for a corporate group meeting in our hotel, and they were thoroughly impressed! Rocco is incredibly kind and authentic, and his enthusiasm for wine is infectious! His expertise and skill were on full display during the event, which was a huge success. I will certainly be recommending Rocco as the go-to sommelier for any groups interested in a wine tasting experience in the future.

Rocco was hired to host my daughter's bridal shower, and his wine tasting was a hit! He kept everyone engaged with interesting tidbits about Italy's history and the different grape regions. The blind tasting was a fun and interactive experience for all the women, and the wine itself was top-notch. Rocco proved to be more than just a sommelier; he was also an entertaining host. I would not hesitate to hire him again for any future party, big or small.

I thoroughly enjoyed having Rocco as my Sommelier for my wine tasting event. He engaged the audience with his wealth of knowledge and made the experience informative and interactive. His impressive understanding of wine-making and wine varieties was evident. Additionally, he had a great sense of humor that could have easily lent itself to a career in comedy. I anticipate collaborating with him again for upcoming occasions. Rocco, thank you for being the highlight of the event!
