Nichole Mao

China Brand Ambassador

    As part of Villa Maria’s investment in the fast growing China market, Nichole Mao joined Villa Maria in August 2011 as China Brand Ambassador, introducing and promoting New Zealand wine and Villa Maria wines to Chinese wine lovers. Nichole’s appointment was a milestone for Vila Maria as she was their first Asia based employee.

    Nichole entered the world of wine partly by accident, after she graduated from the Tianjin Foreign Studies University in 2008, and the imported wine industry was still a relatively new topic in China.  Nichole hadn’t been brought  up in a wine business related family and only cheap Chinese wines occasionally popped on the family table,  but she discovered a lifelong passion for wine had begun.    She began her career in Shanghai with ASC Fine Wines one of China’s biggest premium wine importers. Her two years’ experience with ASC gave Nichole a great foundation of wine knowledge and trade connections. After joining Villa Maria, Nichole has continued her wine education recently achieved her WSET Advanced certificate, and hopes to continue her studies.  

    Joining Villa Maria has been a great step for Nichole for her development in the winery industry. She is hugely enjoying working for Villa Maria, promoting the New Zealand wine and Villa Maria story all around in China, occasionally travelling to New Zealand, meeting interesting people and sharing great wines!
