Hello, I’m Risko Isic, the proud CEO of Sirromet Winery, and I’m delighted to share my journey and vision with you. With over 20 years of enriching experience in the Food and Beverage industry, my career has been a vibrant tapestry woven with dedication, innovation, and passion.
My professional voyage began after completing my Hotel Management studies at the esteemed Hospitality School in Zurich, Switzerland. The rigorous training and diverse experiences there set the foundation for my career. I soon found myself at the heart of culinary excellence, working at the prestigious 3 Michelin Star Restaurant Fischerzunft in Schaffhausen. This experience was crucial in shaping my understanding of service perfection and culinary artistry.
The journey didn’t stop in Switzerland. I brought my expertise to Brisbane, where I immersed myself in the city’s dynamic hospitality scene. I had the privilege of being part of some of Brisbane’s finest establishments and later became the proud owner of Mariosarti Restaurant in Toowong. For over five years, Mariosarti was not just a restaurant; it was a manifestation of my vision for Italian cuisine in Australia, blending traditional methods with modern twists.
My tenure at Mariosarti was just one of my career milestones. Perhaps one of my most innovative projects was the development of the first fine dining concept on the Wheel of Brisbane. This venture was not just about serving exquisite meals but creating unforgettable experiences that rotate with panoramic views of the city skyline.
Throughout my career, my contributions to the industry have been recognised with some of the highest accolades from the Australian Restaurant and Catering Industry and the Italian hospitality and commerce association. These honors are not just awards but affirmations of the hard work and creativity that my teams and I have put into each role and project.
Now, as the CEO of Sirromet Winery, I am focused on blending my extensive background in hospitality with the art of winemaking. At Sirromet, we’re committed to producing premium wines that reflect the unique terroir of our region, but my vision goes beyond the vineyard. I aim to enhance the wine-tasting experience, combining it with culinary delights that elevate the senses and create holistic experiences for our guests.
My journey is a testament to the belief that with passion and perseverance, one can craft not just meals or wines, but memories that last a lifetime. Join me at Sirromet Winery, where every sip tells a story, and each visit is an adventure.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know a bit about me, Risko Isic. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing the fruits of our passion and hard work.
