Narida Hooper

Cellar Sales Manager

Narida Hooper

If you ever visit Palliser – and you should – the chances are that you will be greeted and presented with tastings to sample by Narida. Yep.

Narida looks after Palliser’s cellar door. “I am the cellar keeper,” she says with a deep serious voice. Narida does serious well. She also does smiling really well. Yep.

Narida came to Palliser after living in Perth, WA and Aberdeen, Scotland.  Home is Featherston – and it was good to come home.

In her spare time, Narida enjoys sports, particularly running and cycling. When this was written she was about to do a half marathon. She’d tried to get Blair to join but he wouldn’t budge. Not even when she used the deep
serious voice.
