Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru has announced the appointment of Jonas Vittur as the new Head Bartender at Copitas
His journey in the world of bartending is both eclectic and distinguished. Starting off at Dishoom Kings Cross in London, a concept inspired by the Irani Cafés in Bombay, he quickly established a connection with India. “I chose bartending as a profession for many reasons but to name one apart from pursuing my passion is that it combines the versatility of both worlds, front-of-house and back-of-house dynamics. After the pandemic I was looking for a new big challenge; so, when the opportunity came across to move to India, I saw it as my calling,” said Jonas.
His Indian bartending adventure continued as he assumed the role of Bar Director and mixology Consultant at Whisky Samba, Gurugram, ranking 24th in the 30 Best Bars India list for 2023.
Before his Indian sojourn, Jonas Vittur delivered his vision at the Nature Spa Resort Quelle in Italy as well as at High Five in Tokyo, which propelled him into the elite circles of the world’s best bars. With a style that’s uniquely his own, Jonas Vittur also served as a Senior Bartender at Le Lion – Bar de Paris in Hamburg achieving the remarkable feat of ranking 19th in the World’s 50 Best Bars in 2015.
“Jonas’s rich global experiences, passion for the craft, and unique perspective will undoubtedly contribute to the exceptional service and atmosphere our guests expect,” said Savio Fernandes, Director of Food and Beverage. “His journey, from the Italian Alps to the bustling streets of Bengaluru, reflects the diverse and dynamic spirit of Four Seasons and we look forward to seeing the unique flavours and energy he will bring to Copitas.”
