Awaken Your Senses «You can enjoy your friends more with the right wines.»
I’m Cristina Sala, founder of WineSpeakingFriends, a global Wine Lovers community where wine tasting becomes a joyful, sensory-rich, and sustainable experience.
With a strong background in wine flavors, sensory evaluation, and fragrance design, I’ve spent over 20 years helping people connect through wine and awaken the hidden power of their senses — especially the sense of smell.
I’ve led Wine Sensory Training programs, wine aroma training workshops, and wine tasting courses for both beginners and enthusiasts, always making wine culture friendly, accessible, and a true source of wellbeing.
I bring to this project a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry about Wine Flavors from the Oenology Faculty of Tarragona (URV), an Executive MBA from EADA Business School, a Master’s in Food Science and Technology from the University of Barcelona, and a degree in Biology from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. I speak native Catalan and Spanish, fluent English and French, basic German, and understand Italian — because wine is also about connecting cultures.
