About

Celeste holds a Bachelor of Business in Spanish from San Ignacio de Loyola University and she is currently studying her second bachelor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Auckland University of Technology, as well as Professional Wine Studies course, at the same campus. Previously, she has worked for other Wine Distributor Companies in Auckland and quickly learnt how business operates in New Zealand. Celeste speaks fluent Spanish and English and her friendly and enthusiastic personality has helped her to build strong relationships with winemakers, customers, suppliers and every single stakeholder in the retail and grocery sectors. In support of the wineries that she represents and through her wine studies at WSET and wine tasting experiences Celeste delivers a high degree of wine knowledge.
Her Story
Celeste arrived to New Zealand from Peru about 8 years ago. At that time, she didn’t know a single word of English and didn’t know anyone in the country. Her determination, motivation and enthusiastic happy personality helped her to seek for new challenges, risks and achievements. She always had the dream to work independently doing what she really loves and empower other women to do the same thing!
