Q&A with Camila Luzzi

What sparked your passion for the world of wine, and when did you decide to pursue your career as sommelier?

Wine has always been my passion, my growing up family memories. It happened so naturally; My initial goal was to work in sustainability – my first degree was in Tourism Management with a specialization in sustainability. I was working in hospitality before, mostly with European wines whilst living in Sydney.

When I came to visit Margaret River to research about sustainable wineries, and how they were making it possible, I was lucky to get a dream job on a winery that was viewed as a pioneer and leader in sustainability in the region. This opened my eyes and showed me that it was possible to combine my two passions whereas before I had thought they could only operate independently of each other. This gave me the drive to pursue my dreams and apply for further education in environmental science and to become a wine specialist.

Along your journey to becoming 6HEAD Perth's Head Sommelier, what standout achievement or milestones have been significant for you?

When achieved the AHA Award Best hotel Accommodation Wine List for 3x years in a row for my previous workplace, earning the wine list on the Hall of the Fame stands out as a significant milestone for me. I look forward to a bright future with the 6HEAD Perth and to embark on a beautiful journey.

What is your favourite wine pairing that seems unusual but works for the 6HEAD menu?

I love all the pairings we’ve created, but my favourite is on the Great Southern menu. It’s the burrata and rump tartare in the second course. Chefs have been very audacious with this pairing, which fascinates me because I enjoy being adventurous, innovating, and pushing boundaries. Matching these two opposite
dishes with two opposite wines—Three Elms Gewurztraminer and Chouette ‘Oranjou’ Amber Chenin Blanc skin contact—is a delightful contrast. I like to describe it as musical orchestration, where the food and wine traverse between flavours and notes.

What wines at 6HEAD Perth have you seen are the most popular with guests and why do you think that's the case?

We have been open for only four months, and during this time, I’ve observed that our guests have been incredibly open to exploring a wide variety of wines. From Champagne to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as well as skin-contact wines, chilled reds, rosés, Shiraz, Cabernet, Chenin Blanc, Tempranillo, Malbec, and
everything else on our wine list, our guests have shown a keen interest in trying new and diverse options. It has been a lot of fun for myself and my sommelier team to curate and guide our guests through this exciting wine journey.
