William Wilson Joins ICC Sydney as Beverage Operations and Cellar Manager

International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) has appointed William Wilson as Beverage Operations and Cellar Manager.

Wilson has almost 30 years of experience and was one of Australia’s first certified sommeliers, qualified through the Court of Master Sommeliers.

Prior to joining ICC Sydney, he worked at top calibre venues across the USA, UK and Australia, including the former Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre.

During his 20 year tenure as Food and Beverage Manager and Sommelier at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, his team supported close to 600 events annually and served 1.3 million guests in total.

“While our beverage partners will constantly evolve, we will be looking to ensure all our offerings complement the outstanding dishes on offer at ICC Sydney. We will partner with regional NSW producers, including many boutique wineries who create high quality drops in small batches and those creating organic, biodynamic, low impact wines in line with the broader AEG Ogden sustainability philosophy,” William said. “Craft beers will be available on our menus too, featuring homegrown talent and Sydney-based breweries. Even the cocktails will feature small-batch spirits from select distilleries, like Sydney-based Archie Rose which has created custom gin and vodka infusions for ICC Sydney with a lower level of impurities and cleaner taste. Healthy house made beverages, including spa waters and teas infused with fresh fruits, berries, herbs and aromatics, will also be on the menu.”

The ICC Sydney will open in December 2016.
