Maria grew up in Somerset but spent most of her adult life living and working in Asia. Whilst in Asia she travelled extensively, often staying at holiday lets along the way and has made Southbourne her home with an independent holiday home for letting in her Garden near the beach. She also studied for her WSET Wine Exams and now offers Wine Tasting Experiences, fun wine matching evenings, and masterclasses in regions, and also the WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) Courses in Southbourne. Probably explains the name of the Lodge!
