Hey, I'm Michael
Wine professional, DipWSET, Weinakademiker, guide and adventure enthusiast
For over 20 years, I worked in commercial real estate development in Moscow while pursuing extreme sports like skiing, snowboarding, freeride, windsurfing, kitesurfing, and wakeboarding — anything that combines movement and nature.
Twelve years ago, wine became my true passion. I dove deep into the world of wine, studying first at Enotria Wine School in Moscow, then earning my WSET Level 3, and later completing the WSET Diploma at the Austrian Wine Academy, where I became a Wienakademiker.
At some point, I realized it was time to turn my hobby into a way of life and trade the pace of the big city for a life where wine and mountains are part of everyday living.
