Sommelier Duties & Salary in Australia

A Sommelier is a wine expert who specializes in the service and knowledge of wines. In Australia, which boasts some of the worlds finest vineyards, a Sommelier plays a vital role in the hospitality industry. They work closely with chefs and restaurant managers to curate wine lists that complement the cuisine, enhance the dining experience, and meet the preferences of the patrons.

One exciting fact about Australian sommeliers is that they often have the opportunity to explore unique and diverse wine regions, such as the renowned Barossa Valley in South Australia, Margaret River in Western Australia, and Hunter Valley in New South Wales. They can discover exceptional wines from boutique wineries and discover emerging trends.

The main duties of an Australian Sommelier include selecting and purchasing wines, maintaining and organizing the wine cellar, assisting customers in choosing wines, and providing recommendations based on their tastes and preferences. They also ensure proper wine storage, serve wines at the correct temperature, and educate staff and customers about wine regions, varietals, and food pairings.

Key skills for a Sommelier in Australia include a deep understanding of wine production, grape varieties, and wine-making techniques. They must possess excellent sensory evaluation abilities to assess and describe wines accurately. Additionally, strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential to interact with customers effectively.

The salary range for a Sommelier in Australia varies depending on experience and establishment. On average, they can expect to earn between AUD 50,000 and AUD 80,000 per year. However, in high-end restaurants or luxury hotels in major cities like Sydney and Melbourne, the salary range can extend up to AUD 100,000 or more.

* Please note that the salary figures may vary based on experience & location. Salary figures & rate ranges last updated Nov 2023.
