Alvezo’s ambition is admirable. He joined the Cape Grace family in 2011 within the In-Room Dining Department. He was given an opportunity to move up to Signal Restaurant, which he has embraced and excelled at ever since.
Alvezo’s knowledge of cuisine has pushed him to further his wine acumen and hopefully move him towards his goal of Wine Steward and eventually Sommelier. He is thrilled to continue progressing in the hospitality industry. He loves how the arena exposes one to new faces, new languages and simultaneously, new cultures. No day in the industry is the same, which is what makes it such a rewarding career path.
When Alvezo is not hard at work at Cape Grace, you’ll find him writing poetry, sketching or pairing his favourite wine varietal—Pinotage, with a hearty pasta dish.
Alvezo took 2nd place in the 2018 Distell Inter Hotel Challenge as Wine Steward.
