ABOUT THE FOUNDER
I’m Gloria Villaseñor and I’m a sommelier.
I left Mexico City to establish myself in Paris,
which I believe is the best place to deepen my knowledge of oenology, and obtain my sommelier certification in France. After working in various renowned establishments in Paris, including a Michelin-starred restaurant within a palace, I decided to start my own venture to share my passion for wine.
My goal is to provide an authentic approach to wine tasting and blending, this led me to return to my roots and create TINTO STUDIO!
The word “tinto” is commonly used in Spanish-speaking countries to refer to red wine. Its origin can be traced back to Latin, from the word
“tinctus” = “dyed” or “stained.”
By choosing this name for my studio, I aim to reflect not only my Mexican heritage but also to emphasize the rich, vibrant experience I seek to offer through my wine tastings.
Hope to see you soon !
