FRANKLIN HUBER
Our
Story
Seduced by the orient
After receiving his Master in Wine Management from the Bordeaux International Wine Institute, Franklin set sail to Asia in 2007 to discover the booming fine wine market of this region. He worked in the wine trade in Singapore, Vietnam and Indonesia where as the General Manager for six years of a leading wine importer, he acquired a deep understanding of the wine on trade and F&B sector.
A FOOD LOVER
Franklin loves his food and wishes he had time to learn to be a Chef one day, in the meantime he works with them closely, always happy to discuss and fine tune wine and food pairing.
His years in the wine trade have taught him a lot about operations, including wine logistics, and help him today to have a very hands on approach when organising wine events together with the local event crews he gathers in each of his markets, ensuring that all details fall right into place, in the back and front of the house!
Trained as a Wine Maker
With a "Technicien Superieur Diploma" in Oenology and Viticulture, Winery and Vineyard management obtained at the Lycée Viticole de Beaune in Burgundy, Franklin not only fullfilled his passion to learn wine making, but he built solid friendships that would lead him later to become a loyal ambassador of this beautiful region...
A Passionate Wine Coach and Consultant
In 2020 Franklin decided to start his own business and combine the best of all his experiences, by advising some of his wine maker friends in Burgundy on how to have their wines best represented in Asia, and by advising private and corporate clients in Asia on how to best enjoy wine experiences.
​
Franklin is completely independent, free from the commercial pressure that merchants may have, acting as a wine advisor, broker, event organiser and wine speaker, always placing the wine experience of his clients first. He is able to share his wine knowledge across the old world and the new world with a high level of professionalism and adaptability to his audience.
