Stefano Angeloni
Chef Sommelier
CMS Certified & WSET Level 3
I am originally from San Giovanni Bianco, a small village near Bergamo in Italy.
After graduating from high school, I moved to the UK, where I discovered my passion for wine. I was fascinated not only by the diversity of flavors, but also by the cultures, stories, and people behind each wine.
As General Manager and Head Sommelier at L’Atelier du Vin in Brighton, I was involved in opening three different locations, and during this time I also completed the WSET Level 3 certificate and the Certified Sommelier qualification from the Court of Master Sommeliers.
In 2020, I moved to Cologne, where I worked at the restaurants Zippiri and Phaedra before taking over the role of Head Sommelier at both of Eric Werner's restaurants, Astrein* and Augustin.
In 2024, I won the Ruinart Sommelier Challenge in Germany and started the WSET Diploma Level 4, which I have now almost completed.
Since April 2025, I have been working as Head Sommelier at Restaurant Ox und Klee **, where I enthusiastically take responsibility for the wine selection and face new challenges, especially in creative wine pairings.
