Rebecca Sutton

Experienced with food from a grass roots level as an agronomist, Rebecca Sutton initially started her career with a Bachelor of Rural Science and now owns her own Catering business Olive.A.Twist .

Cooking has always been her preferred vocation ... in between the ‘farmer’ bits and the travelling.

On completing her sommelier studies, hands on experience was gained over successive vintages with Lowe Family Wines in Mudgee. This has lead to wine judging both on a local and state level.

Whether it be writing, marketing, constructing menus or in fact eating, Rebecca is about quality, fresh produce and supporting those who own this ethos.
