By invitation, by appointment.  ·  One group per evening.  ·  Quoted per night.

What makes it unrepeatable

This is not a restaurant. Not a venue.

Wines you can't book individually anywhere

A personal collection built over years — library vintages, allocation bottles, rare regional finds. These wines aren't on a list. They're not on a shelf. They're in this cellar, and they only get opened on nights like this.

A real cellar, not a tasting room

You're in the place where the wine lives. Surrounded by the collection. The room itself shapes the evening.

Hosted by the founder, not staff

The person who built the collection is the person pouring it. Every bottle comes with the story of why it's here — and why you're tasting it tonight.

One group per evening. Yours.

No other bookings. No turning tables. The night moves at the pace of your conversation.

"The closest a guest gets to my own table."

How the evening comes together

Considered, start to finish.

01

Tell us about the night

Occasion, headcount, who's joining, what kind of evening you're after. Dietary considerations and any wine preferences worth noting.

02

A short call

Fifteen minutes with the founder to talk through the shape of the evening — pace, tone, the wines worth opening. Quoted per evening from there.

03

Date confirmed, collection considered

In the weeks leading up, your host hand-selects the bottles. Some might be added at the last minute based on the room.

04

The cellar

You arrive at the cellar in Germantown. Two to three hours of wines, conversation, and storytelling. Move at your own pace.

05

A keepsake

Each guest leaves with notes on what was poured — producers, vintages, why each bottle was in the lineup — so the evening keeps going long after the last glass.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How private is it?

Truly. One group per evening — yours. No other bookings, no shared space, no turning tables.

What does it cost?

Quoted per evening — varies with the wines, the headcount, and whether food is added. Most evenings live in a clear, sensible range; we'll talk through it on the call before anything is committed.

How far in advance should I book?

Three to four weeks gives us room to curate properly. Faster turnarounds are possible — ask.

Can I make this a gift?

Yes — gift bookings welcome. We'll work with you on timing, surprise factor, and how to hand it over.

What if plans change?

Reschedule any time before the wines are pulled from the collection. After that, we'll work through it — this is built around being right, not rigid.
