Monica Bacchiocchi

Head Sommelier at Wiltons Restaurant

I've been working in hospitality for the last 15 years, finding my passion for wine right here in London. It felt like a magical world of art and expression of the winemaker and the terror. 

For the last 6 years I worked in Wiltons, an institution for the London hospitality. I am the Head Sommelier and Wine buyer for the Restaurant. 

I am holding awards for the wine list every year since I took over the position, exploiting the word of fine wines.

I took part of the judging board for SWA in the past.

I've been part of the top 50 UK sommelier award in 2024 and top 100 in 2025.
