Karoline Reinhold

I am a sommelier guided by a deep passion for wine, hospitality and the stories that connect people to what is in their glass. To me, wine is far more than a beverage, it is an expression of culture, craftsmanship and place, shaped by the people who create it. This philosophy underpins my daily work, from curating balanced and expressive wine lists to guiding guests toward pairings that elevate the dining experience and create lasting memories.

My journey into wine began without a traditional background. Coming from a country and family where wine was not deeply rooted in everyday culture, my path was driven purely by curiosity an early fascination with how wines could taste so remarkably different from one another. That curiosity soon evolved into a lifelong passion, one that continues to push me toward constant learning and refinement.

Alongside my work in restaurants, I have also spent time working in vineyards, an experience that deepened my appreciation for the unseen realities of winegrowing. Being close to the vines and understanding the challenges and decisions made in the vineyard has strengthened my connection to the wines I serve and reinforced my desire to explore every side of the wine world.

I have had the privilege of working in Michelin-starred restaurants across the United Kingdom, Greece, Sweden and Estonia, gaining exposure to diverse culinary philosophies and service cultures. For the past two years, I have curated and led award-winning wine programs in Estonia, with a strong focus on balance, originality and meaningful storytelling.

I hold the Advanced Certification from the Court of Master Sommeliers and the ASI Gold Diploma and I am honored to have been named Best Sommelier of Estonia on two occasions.
