What We Offer

Three ways we
show up for you.

Every service is built around a single principle: your guests should ALL feel like they belong at your table. We design beverage experiences that are culturally resonant, sensorially excellent, and inclusive by default.

Corporate Event
Curation

Your event is a culture statement. The wines you pour, the producers you platform, and the experience you create say something about your company before anyone gives a toast. We handle everything from concept to final pour, so you can be fully present for your guests.

Full beverage selection tailored to your event theme, season, and guest profile. Events can include:
Wine, cocktail recipes, and non-alcoholic options in every program
Staff retreats, holiday parties, galas, client appreciation events, and milestone celebrations
On-site sommelier guidance and optional wine education moments for your guests
Vendor coordination and service flow planning

"We don't just pour wine. We craft the experience."

Corporate
Gifting Programs

A great gift tells the recipient: I see you, and I chose this for you. Our curated gifting programs feature small-producer selections that carry real stories. Wines, spirits, and other items made by people who care about what's in the bottle. Custom branded packaging available for organizations looking to make the impression last.

Curated single-bottle and multi-bottle gift sets featuring natural and responsibly made wines
Custom branding and personalized tasting notes for each selection
Perfect for client gifts, employee milestones, board recognition, and seasonal giving
Non-alcoholic and mixed-beverage gifting options available
Tiered programs for organizations gifting 10 to 1,000+ recipients

"Gifts that tell a story worth sharing."

Non-Alcoholic &
Mocktail Consulting

Studies show that a third of your guests may not drink alcohol, for reasons ranging from personal wellness to religious observance to recovery. They deserve a beverage experience that is just as sophisticated and intentional as any other bar menu. In service to them, we build non-alcoholic programs that can stand fully on their own.

Full non-alcoholic beverage menus designed with the same craft as the wine program
Zero-proof cocktail development and curation
Thoughtful pairing guidance for sober, sober-curious, and wellness-forward guests
Ideal for organizations with diverse teams, interfaith communities, and wellness-centered cultures
Can be added to any event package or scoped as a standalone service

"Sophistication has never needed alcohol."

The WineGriot Difference

Why organizations choose us
over and over again.

There's no shortage of beverage vendors. There is a shortage of beverage consultants who bring expertise, cultural fluency, and a genuine commitment to excellence into the same room.

01
Sommelier-Level Expertise
Our founder is a certified sommelier with deep knowledge of wine regions, small producers, and responsible viticulture. You're not hiring a stylist with a wine subscription. You're hiring a genuine expert who has spent years building relationships with the winemakers behind every bottle.
02
Inclusive by Design, Not Afterthought
Most event beverage programs add non-alcoholic options as a footnote. We build them in from the start. Most wine lists feature zero BIPOC or LGBTQ+ producers. Ours feature them as the rule, not the exception.
03
Small Producers, Big Stories
We champion the winemakers that the corporate distribution world overlooks: Black vintners, queer-owned estates, women-led cooperatives, Indigenous growers. Every bottle we recommend carries a story worth telling at your event.
04
Culture-Forward Partnership
We understand that your gathering is never just about the food or drinks. It's about who feels seen, who feels welcome, and what story your organization is telling the room. We help you tell that story beautifully..

Your sober guests
deserve better.

One in three adults in the U.S. does not drink alcohol. At most corporate events, these guests receive sparkling water and a polite apology. At WineGriot events, they receive a beverage experience designed with the same craft, creativity, and intention as the wine list.

This isn't a trend. It's a commitment to ensuring every person in your room feels genuinely welcomed and cared for, which to us, is the entire point of gathering.

Zero-proof cocktail and mocktail menus with seasonal, sophisticated ingredients
Premium non-alcoholic wines, sparkling alternatives, and botanical beverages
Pairing guidance for every course, for every guest
Presentation that signals purpose and never compromise

The Sober Market

3.5×

Growth in the non-alcoholic beverage market since 2020. The fastest-growing category in premium beverages.

"The most forward-thinking organizations are already treating non-alcoholic programming as a feature, not an accommodation. We can show yours how."

Corporate Gifting

Gifts that tell
a story worth sharing.

Every bottle in a WineGriot gifting program is chosen because of its quality AND the person who made it: their story, their craft, and their commitment to doing things differently. Your recipients don't just receive wine, but also a window into a world of producers who deserve to be known.

What We Believe

The ethos behind
every pour.

WineGriot was built on the conviction that wine culture belongs to everyone, and that the most powerful thing a beverage consultant can do is take that conviction into rooms where it hasn't arrived yet.

R
Responsibly Made, Every Time

We exclusively recommend wines and beverages from producers who take environmental stewardship seriously. Protecting the health of the land is a baseline requirement.

S
Small Producers, Amplified

We champion the winemakers who are doing extraordinary work outside the spotlight of major distributors: Black vintners, queer-owned estates, women-led cooperatives, and Indigenous growers.

I
Inclusion is the Design

From non-alcoholic menus to culturally informed selections, we build programs where every guest is anticipated. We've felt the absence of this as guests ourselves, and our goal is to never replicate it for yours.

E
Excellence Without Gatekeeping

Wine has been used as a cultural barrier for too long. We bring sommelier-level expertise and luxury-caliber curation without the exclusivity, the pretension, or the unspoken sense that some people weren't meant to be in the room. Everyone is meant to be in this room.
