A hopeless romantic for wine and food, Cyndal Petty is nearing 15 years in hospitality while still (just) under 30. A Chef-turned-Sommelier and award-winning wine professional, she recently left a Group Sommelier role where she curated seven wine lists across multiple venues and led the wine team to Gourmet Traveller Wine Bar of the Year—just months after opening. Now freelance, Cyndal is a wine consultant, event host, wine judge and industry personality. Passionate about sharing wine’s story with the world, she brings a fresh voice and creative solutions to the industry. Cyndal spent her 20’s working, studying and traveling, she’s now based in WA’s southwest, proudly embracing her role as a WA coastal cowgirl and Sommelier-if-sorts.
