About us

Suc Suc is an education hub and consulting agency for natural wine and based in Barcelona. We give natural wine tastings and classes, and create natural wine programs for restaurants and wine bars.

Our natural wine courses are dynamic, unpretentious, and adapted to the learning needs of our professional and amateur students. Our classroom is located in Barcelona.

We also specialize in consulting with restaurant-sector clients on incorporating natural wines into their wine list, as well as private events and other natural wine sommelier services in Barcelona and around the world.

Suc Suc is the brainchild of sommeliers and communicators Ida Mogren and Benji Sher. We met in 2016 in a formal sommelier diploma program in Barcelona. Since then, we’ve seen, strategized, and practiced better ways to teach and learn about wine.
