Miriam has her roots in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany's leading wine land, and has been a wine lover since the first drop. She studied translation and interpreting in Cologne, but pursued continual development in the specialist fields of wine-growing/wine, including creation and translation of websites and advertising texts for the wine industry. Now based in Vienna, the world's only wine-growing metropolis, she is a leader of guided wine-tastings in multiple languages at the premises of renowned producers and has trained and received certification at the Weinakademie (Austrian Wine Academy) and holds a WSET Diploma in Wines. She has enthusiasm and passion for helping visitors to experience some true Viennese “Gemütlichkeit” at a Heurigen restaurant over a glass of typical Viennese wine and to feel how wine is regarded not only as an important economical factor for the region, but also as part of the cultural heritage and something inseparable from Vienna.
