About
Irene Fung
London-based wine consultant and educator, originally from Hong Kong.
Irene Fung is a London-based wine consultant and educator, originally from Hong Kong. Before turning to wine full time, she hosted wine-and-dine events for Cathay Pacific's members, an experience that shaped her belief that wine is best understood when it is shared.
She completed the WSET Diploma and became a certified wine educator in 2022. In 2026 she was awarded the Golden Vines Scholarship, and she is now studying for the Master of Wine, one of the most demanding qualifications in the wine world.
Today she brings that depth of study and her years of hospitality to every tasting, class and consultation.
