WINE PROGRAMS & TRAINING FOR RESTAURANTS

Private in home and corporate wine tasting

All too often when visiting independent restaurants the wine list full of mass produced wines that don't reflect their menu, season or values and choose not to order wines based on that. Independent restaurant owners should support independent wineries and through that you will dazzle your diners and entice them to dine with you directly impacting your bottom line.

We will craft the perfect wine list (by the glass & bottle) for your restaurant blending expertise, creativity and a deep understanding of both the culinary and oenological worlds.

Consider us artists in terms of creativity, crafting a narrative through the wine list that enhances the dining experience. We may design unique and off-the-beaten-path selections to intrigue adventurous palates, while also ensuring there are familiar favorites for those who prefer tried-and-true classics.

We are adaptable and responsive to changing trends and tastes staying informed about emerging wineries, new vintages, and evolving consumer preferences, ensuring that the wine list remains dynamic and relevant over time giving you more time to focus on other elements of your business.

As a wine concierge, I offer customized staff training for restaurants looking to elevate their wine program and enhance the guest experience.

Whether you’re launching a new wine list or simply want to boost your team’s confidence and knowledge, I provide engaging, practical training sessions tailored to your menu, service style, and team experience. From understanding key varietals and regions to mastering food and wine pairings and improving tableside wine service, your staff will gain the tools they need to speak about wine with ease and authenticity.

Sessions can be held on-site or virtually and are designed to be approachable, interactive, and immediately applicable—whether you're training seasoned servers or onboarding new hires.

A well-informed team doesn't just sell more wine—it helps create a more memorable dining experience for your guests.
