Noa Chef's Hall Sommelier (Michelin)

ASI Gold Diploma Sommelier

I am a dedicated sommelier with over a decade of experience in hospitality, including previous roles as Chef and Sous-Chef in some of Estonia’s leading restaurants. Five years ago, my passion for wine inspired me to transition fully into the world of sommellerie. Today, I proudly work as Sommelier at the One Michelin-Starred NOA Chef’s Hall in Tallinn.

Key achievements in my sommelier career include receiving the MICHELIN Sommelier Award Estonia 2026, winning the Estonian National Sommelier Competition in 2025, and being named Best Sommelier of the Baltics in 2023. I hold both the ASI Silver Diploma (2022) and ASI Gold Diploma (2023), and in 2025, I became a certified Sake Sommelier through the SSA.

My work is driven by a passion for fine wine, gastronomy, hospitality, and continuous learning.
