About me, Your host & Sommelier

Vinkällan DryckesutbildningarWSET Wine & Spirit Education Trust

As a certified sommelier originally from Finnish Lapland and now rooted in Swedish Lapland, I have an Arctic perspective to the world of wine.

Born to a reindeer herder and a restaurateur, my life has always been a blend of the wild and the welcoming. I was raised at the intersection of wild nature and Arctic hospitality, where I learned early on that a table is only as good as the heart behind it. Today, as a certified Sommelier rooted in Swedish Lapland, I bring that dual heritage to every glass I pour and to every guest I meet.

I started my formal wine education in Stockholm, where I was lucky enough to graduate top of my class at the Scandinavian Wine Academy. Since then, I've added a WSET Level 3 to my toolkit and spent countless hours in wineries across the globe. I don't think of myself as having 'finished' my studies; I'm still exploring and learning every day to make sure I'm bringing the best, most current knowledge to the table.

My true passion is hosting unpretentious, easy-going, and comfortable gatherings. I do my best to create a relaxed space where guests from all over the world can connect, ensuring every meeting feels like a warm conversation among friends.

From curious beginners to lifelong connoisseurs, everyone is welcome. Join me at my home table or by the fire in a traditional Lappish teepee for an experience that blends new knowledge with a heartfelt connection to our land.

Kindly, Hanna
