About Cork e Cucina

Hi! I’m Alessa Neeck — an Advanced Sommelier (WSET Level 3), culinary storyteller, and experience curator, passionate about bringing the flavors and soul of travel to the table. After years performing on Broadway and coaching top executives in presence and storytelling, I’ve redirected that same passion for connection into the world of wine, food, and culture. Today, I specialize in wine education, private food & wine pairing events, and curated gift baskets that capture the essence of the places I explore—from the vineyards of the Basque to the markets of Rome. My work is grounded in the belief that every bottle, every bite, and every region has a story to tell—and it's my job to bring it to life in a way that’s accessible, memorable, and meaningful. Whether I’m leading a guided tasting, designing a regional gift experience, or helping a client bring a special event to life, I aim to create sensory connections that transport people—even if they can’t travel themselves. With a strong foundation in performance and executive communication, I bring presence, passion, and polish to everything I do—on stage, at the table, and behind the scenes. Let’s connect if you're looking for: Private or corporate wine/food pairing events Educational tastings or wine classes Custom wine gift baskets rooted in travel and terroir Creative collaboration around culinary storytelling 🍷 From Rome to Rioja, I’m here to help people sip, savor, and connect—one curated experience at a time.
