Sharrol Mukendi-Klaas

Sharrol Mukendi-Klaas is a South African sommelière at Culture Wine Bar. She has worked in a variety of wine bars and restaurants, and her current role allows her to experience the wines of some of South Africa’s most progressive winemakers. Sharrol grew up far from the winemaking regions of South Africa, and as she has become more immersed in the industry she has become keener than ever to share her passion with others who, like her, may not have had a chance to experience the diversity of the world of wine. Sharrol is very excited to get stuck into the Scholarship programme developed by the Sommeliers Academy, learning new skills and gaining an international perspective on being a sommelière. We wish her the best and cannot wait to see all that she achieves!
