Scottish born and bred, Stefanie began her career in hospitality at a young age while working in a local hotel on the Isle of Seil, located off the west coast of Scotland. She began as a kitchen porter and progressed through a variety of roles, continuously growing her knowledge and love for hospitality. She eventually moved behind the bar during her university years, while studying Events Management in Edinburgh. Her love for bartending took her to Australia where she worked most notably at Vue de Monde in Melbourne and for the Merivale Group in Sydney. Returning to Scotland, she joined the team at The Bon Vivant, during which time won Class Restaurant Bar of the Year two years consecutively and where Stefanie won Talisker’s Race to Skye. In 2019 she moved to their sister venue, The Devil’s Advocate, to take on the role of bar manager and to allow her to focus on her passion for whisky. Currently, she is in World Class UK’s Top 100 Bartenders.
