Matt Finn

After more than a decade of experience in the Niagara wine industry, Matt re-joined our team in 2022 as our Retail and DTC Manager. After beginning his career at Hidden Bench in 2010 and spending 4 years at the winery, he became a Certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers in 2016 while continuing to work at premium wineries, independent restaurants, and wine import agencies. The team-based environment based on collaboration and cooperation to consistently craft world class wines brought Matt back to Hidden Bench. When not tasting, reading, or learning about wine, Matt can be found in his kitchen testing new recipes or hiking around Niagara with his partner and 2 dogs.
