Henry Goodwin – Cellar Door Manager and National Sales Manager
Henry Goodwin is the most recent addition to the Domain Day family. Henry’s journey has taken some twists and turns, beginning his career as a cook and a waiter, an English teacher in Sri Lanka and Thailand and even working at a fine wine store in North Adelaide. Whilst at university Henry and his friends set themselves an ambitious task of visiting every cellar door in the state and while they didn’t quite get there, they get very close. It was at this point that Henry realised he had worked around the wine industry for too long and it was finally time to become part of it.
A relative newcomer to the Barossa, Henry started out as a cellar hand in the vintage of 2011. He quickly found a place in cellar door, working for some fantastic wineries around the Barossa, earning himself 4th place in the 2011 Cellar Circle Industry service awards, continuing on to gain 2nd place in 2012 for exceptional customer service skills. Henry has brought his love of wine to Domain Day, currently as the Cellar Door Manager and National Sales manager. He also draws upon his culinary skills to assist Robin with the very popular Domain Day pizza nights!
