Grace Campbell Wines are delighted to welcome Mariana Fernandes de Moraes to their team. Originally from São Paulo, Brazil, Mariana has called Ireland home for the past decade and brings with her nearly 10 years of experience in the wine industry.

Mariana’s journey into wine began unexpectedly. After moving to Dublin in 2016, she started working part-time at O’Brien's Wine, a role she thought would be temporary but quickly became a true passion. Her dedication and curiosity led her to complete her WSET Levels 2 and 3, with plans to begin her WSET Diploma next year. She is also a proud member of the Champagne Academy.

Mariana’s career in wine  has evolved from working in retail sales with O’Brien's and Celtic Whiskey Shop, where she expanded her knowledge of whiskey and spirits alongside her expertise in wine. What inspires her, are the stories behind the the craftsmanship, dedication, and connection that wine represents. For Mariana, wine is about more than what’s in the glass: it is about sharing, community, and family.

Michael O’Brien, Managing Director of Grace Campbell Wines, is delighted that Mariana has joined himself and Willie Dardis as part of the Grace Campbell team. We wish her every success in her new position.
