Why should I hire an interpreter specializing in food and wine for my event?

When organizing a high-profile conference, a major festival, a live cooking show, a technical training course, a trade show, or any other type of premium food and wine event, partnering with a specialized interpreter is essential.

The oenogastronomy sector demands far more than basic language skills. It requires an authentic appreciation for culinary storytelling combined with a solid command of terminology that frequently intersects with technical disciplines such as food science, nutrition, and chemistry. Working with an industry specialist ensures that your product’s craftsmanship, flavor profile, and scientific innovation are articulated flawlessly to an international audience.

In what types of settings have you worked as a food and wine translator and interpreter?

• Conferences & keynote events
• Festivals & cultural events
• Live cooking shows
• Technical training courses
• Corporate events & conventions
• Guided tours & field visits
• Industry contests & competitions
• International trade shows
• Guided food and wine tastings
• Awards ceremonies & galas

What types of clients have you worked with in the food and beverage sector?

As oenogastronomy represents a core area of my professional specialization, I have successfully carried out numerous food and wine translation and interpreting assignments for some of the world’s most iconic beverage brands, food consortia and culinary events.

My extensive portfolio includes prestigious collaborations and high-profile assignments such as Heineken Italia’s 50th-anniversary celebration, the Aperitivo Festival Milano 2025 featuring chef Sandra Peronaci of Giallo Zafferano, the Wine Week Milano 2025 with Micheline-starred Carlo Cracco at the awards ceremony, a Sammontana corporate convention, a corporate event for Campari and a Campari Academy contest, all editions of the trade show Tuttofood Milano since 2023 (including several editions for the Spanish regions of Castile and León and Galicia), a corporate event for Dom Pérignon featuring an interview with Michelin-starred chef Massimiliano Alajmo, and many others.

What food and wine translation services do you offer?

I am a highly flexible professional who fully adapts to your needs. Depending on your requirements, I can provide you with:

• Simultaneous interpretation: ideal for high-profile industry conferences, prestigious award ceremonies, culinary masterclasses, live cooking shows, training courses and major festivals. I deliver seamless, real-time translation, whether operating from a standard acoustic booth or utilizing my portable bidule radio system for hands-on kitchen demonstrations and vineyard tours.

• Consecutive interpretation: perfectly suited for conferences, expert-led master classes, chef interviews, cooking shows, technical training courses, festivals, and dynamic culinary events where the speaker pauses for precise, impactful translation.

• Liaison interpreting: designed to facilitate smooth, face-to-face communication during international trade shows, critical B2B or B2C negotiations, and technical or sensory exchanges among global food and beverage industry experts.

• Remote interpreting (RSI): seamless virtual solutions where I  provide high-fidelity simultaneous interpretation of the speaker’s address or I facilitate interactive collaboration among international culinary event participants using consecutive interpretation.
