Hospitality & Wine Consulting
Wine programming, staff education, and list development for hotels, restaurants, private clubs, and hospitality groups.
What We Do
Wine Program Development
We design wine programs that reflect your venue's identity — by-the-glass selections, bottle lists structured by narrative rather than region, and pricing strategies that serve both margin and guest experience.
Staff Education & Certification
Structured training programs for front-of-house teams — from introductory wine literacy to advanced sommelier preparation. Tastings, theory, and service protocol tailored to your operation.
List Curation & Acquisition
Sourcing through established allocation networks, auction houses, and direct producer relationships. We build depth where it matters and ensure your list tells a story worth reading.
Who We Serve
- Boutique Hotels & Resort Properties
- Private Members' Clubs
- Restaurant Groups
- Family Offices with Hospitality Holdings
- Corporate Dining Programs
The Approach
Audit
A thorough review of your current wine program — list composition, pricing, storage, staff knowledge, and guest feedback patterns.
Strategy
A tailored roadmap: list restructuring, sourcing plan, staff training schedule, and service protocol recommendations.
Implementation
Hands-on execution — new list rollout, initial training sessions, supplier introductions, and inventory setup.
Refinement
Ongoing support with seasonal list updates, advanced training, performance reviews, and evolving recommendations.
