Michal has 19 years of experience in the gastronomy industry. He started from the very basics in ordinary bars and rural restaurants and gradually worked his way up to French fine dining at Celeste and the Four Seasons Hotel Prague.
He also gained experience beyond restaurant operations, including working as a sales representative in Poland. He fully embraced wine about twelve years ago and gradually completed the international WSET for Wines and Spirits Level 2 and WSET for Wines Level 3 exams, which greatly deepened his expertise.
He is drawn to wine not only for its diversity but also for the environment in which it is produced. He believes that where wine is grown, good food follows. Wine regions, in his view, are united by quality gastronomy, beautiful landscapes, and hardworking, inspiring people.
His favorite wines include Austrian Grüner Veltliner, German Riesling, Italian Franciacorta, and Champagne. Among red wines, he prefers the elegance of Burgundy Pinot Noir and Italian Barolo.
Currently, he works at Alcron in Prague as Restaurant Manager and Sommelier, combining his extensive operational experience with deep wine knowledge and a strong focus on personalized guest service.
In hospitality, he values meeting interesting people from around the world, high-quality gastronomy, wine, and a strong team. The dynamic nature and daily variety of this environment keep him inspired.
In his free time, he devotes himself primarily to his two young children, enjoying outdoor activities with them and the family dog, Rusty. He is also actively involved in swimming and playing billiards.
