Onno discovered his love for wine a decade ago while living in South Africa, drawn to the landscapes and vineyard culture. Today, he writes about wine, leads tastings as founder of Wijngilde Gooi en Vechtstreek, and actively shares insights on Vivino. He holds SDEN 3 certification and is currently pursuing WSET Level 3.
His passion lies with terroir‑driven wines: lower in alcohol, high in acidity, and shaped by vineyard work - not cellar tricks. Think energy, precision, and purity over ripeness and volume.
Professionally, Onno brings commercial leadership to the FMCG and e‑commerce space, blending business sense with a deep appreciation for wine craft.
