Cyndal Petty

Cyndal is a Chef-turned-Sommelier and a hopeless romantic of the culinary world, boasting a 15-year hospitality career while still under 30.

After an impressive career as a Chef at some of Australia’s top restaurants, Cyndal made a natural switch to Front of House, taking on management and wine-buying roles. Currently, she holds the position of Head of Wine for the Parker Group, overseeing seven wine lists across four venues. Alongside this role, she is an Independent Wine Consultant, Food and Wine Event Host, and Wine Judge. You will often see her hosting masterclasses, speaking at industry events, and showcasing her talents on stage.

Cyndal’s unquenchable thirst for the unknown has led her to work and volunteer in some of the most remote locations around the world, including Japan, Fiji, Kangaroo Island, and India, always with a glass of wine in hand.

Now based in Western Australia’s Southwest, you’ll often find Cyndal at the end of a beach track with a glass of Chardonnay or buried in a book as she completes her WSET Diploma in Wine.
