Candy Gunawan is a storyteller at the intersection of food, wine, and travel.
Born and raised in Indonesia, her journey has taken her from the windy kitchens of New Zealand to the vineyards of France, shaping a narrative rooted in culture, craftsmanship, and connection. She believes the most memorable stories often begin around the table — where flavors, people, and places meet.

With a background in Culinary Arts and Business from Le Cordon Bleu New Zealand, a Master’s in Wine Innovation and Tourism studied across Spain, France, and Portugal, and a WSET Level 3 certification in Wine, Candy combines technical expertise with a creative eye for storytelling. Her experiences span culinary arts, branding, event management, and digital marketing — blending these worlds to craft narratives that engage both the senses and the imagination.

Today, Candy works as a freelance digital marketing consultant and writer, collaborating with food, wine, and travel brands to build authentic online identities through thoughtful strategy, creative content, and visual storytelling.

Kisah Table is her personal canvas — a space to share essays, reflections, and photographs inspired by journeys across cultures. Through her writing, Candy invites readers to slow down, savor the details, and find meaning in the simple moments that connect us all.
