Mikk Parre

Sommelier & Cellar Master

ASI Gold Diploma

My life as a sommelier began 13 years ago like for many others - as a happy accident when I started working at Moon - a casual restaurant in my hometown of Tallinn, Estonia. There I found myself surrounded by people walking the path of the sommelier, truly in love with wine. Life from there took a fast turn towards sommelier studies and learning to understand this fascinating beverage - a journey that has never stopped.

Since then I worked in many restaurants and wine bars and I received the ASI Gold Diploma in 2022 but my main focus has always been on sommelier competitions. I currently hold the title of Best Sommelier of Europe, Africa & Middle East that I won in 2024. I have previously also won the titles of Best Sommelier of Estonia in 2022 and 2023 as well as the Best Sommelier of The Baltics in 2022 and 2024.

Today I am working as a cellar master for Bombay Group in Tallinn, running the largest wine cellar in the Baltic region. I also give masterclasses, do wine dinners and work as a wine judge around Europe. I give lectures at the Estonian Sommelier School and I am also part of the Star Wine List international jury, helping to put the best wine lists in the world on the map.
