Wine Tasting Consulting

SommLay Consulting designs thoughtful wine programs for private hosts, boutique venues, and brands who believe the glass should tell a story.

What We Offer

Tailored programs for every occasion

From intimate dinner parties to corporate retreats, we craft experiences that educate, delight, and leave a lasting impression.

01

Private Tastings

Bespoke wine evenings for hosts who want more than a lineup of bottles. Guided, conversational, and paced to your guests.

02

Venue Programming

Wine list curation, staff training, and tasting menu pairings for restaurants, hotels, and event spaces ready to level up.

03

Brand Experiences

Launch events, vineyard partnerships, and consumer activations that connect your brand to the culture of fine wine.

Our Approach

Precision without pretension

Great wine service is warm, informed, and unhurried. We bring sommelier-level expertise with a focus on accessibility and atmosphere.

  • I

    Listen first

    We begin with your vision, guest profile, and budget — never a predetermined script.

  • II

    Curate with purpose

    Every selection balances quality, narrative, and value. No filler pours, no performance for its own sake.

  • III

    Deliver seamlessly

    Logistics, glassware, pacing, and presentation — handled so you can focus on your guests.

Wine is not about knowing more than the person beside you. It is about creating a room where everyone feels invited to discover something new.
