For Wine Producers & Consortiums
Good wine deserves to be discovered.
In a crowded market, exceptional wines can easily get lost. We connect small producers and wine regions with the buyers, sommeliers, retailers, and guests who are looking for something worth discovering.
Vinum House works with independent producers, boutique wineries, regional organizations, and wine consortia to build meaningful connections between exceptional wines and the people who will champion them.
We bring together wine expertise, hospitality, education, storytelling, and relationships built over more than 15 years in the industry to help wines move beyond the bottle and into the hands, glasses, lists, and conversations that matter.
Why Vinum House
Relationships built one bottle at a time.
At Vinum House, we understand that exceptional wine is only half the battle. The other half is being heard. In a market saturated with global brands, we provide the specialized focus that independent producers and regional consortiums need to truly thrive.
We bridge the gap between small-batch production and high-volume demand by creating meaningful, lasting connections with the buyers, sommeliers, and retailers who shape the market.
More than 15 years in wine has meant thousands of conversations—with producers, winemakers, sommeliers, buyers, retailers, chefs, educators, and the people who simply love discovering something new.
Those relationships shape how we work.
We understand what makes a wine compelling in the cellar, at the table, on a
retail shelf, and in a buyer's glass.
And because Vinum House sits at the intersection of wine, hospitality, education, and experience, we can meet a producer wherever they are—and build the right strategy from there.

15+ Years Experience

Deep-rooted expertise across retail, hospitality, and trade development gives us a unique 360° perspective.
The reframe
Being available isn't the same as being remembered.
A wine can be beautifully made and still get lost in a crowded market.
For small producers, the challenge isn't simply finding another account or sending another sample. It's creating the kind of connection that makes a buyer remember the wine, a sommelier want to pour it, a consumer want to learn more, and a trade partner want to bring it into their market.
We don't believe in treating every producer like a mass-market brand.
We believe in finding the story, the audience, and the experiences that make the wine worth seeking out.

" Being part of the class wasn’t just a learning experience, it was also becoming part of a community of other aficionados and lovers of wine. Mary was such a wonderful, patient teacher with loads of bonus material and she went above and beyond to get us some really great quality wines to try. Some were from her personal cellar! I cannot say enough positive things about this experience."

Trade Development
The right introduction can change a market.
For small producers, getting in front of the right buyer matters more than getting in front of hundreds. We use our experience across wine retail, hospitality, education, and the trade to build meaningful connections with restaurants, wine bars, retailers, sommeliers, beverage directors, chefs, and distributors. From targeted introductions and account development to portfolio presentations, trade tastings, market strategy, and staff education, we help put the right wines in the right hands.

Brand Strategy & Development
Build a brand people remember.
A great wine deserves a brand with a point of view. Vinum House works with producers who are ready to define, refine, or reposition how their wines show up in the world.
We help shape the ideas behind the brand—from positioning, voice, messaging, and portfolio architecture to the stories that make a producer distinct.
For emerging wineries, we can help build the brand from the ground up; for established producers, we can bring clarity and cohesion to what already exists.
From brand strategy and identity direction to website copy, trade materials, launch campaigns, and sales presentations, we create brands designed to feel as compelling as the wines inside the bottle.
Experience & Activation
Don't just pour the wine. Give people a reason to remember it.
We create thoughtful experiences that put your wines in the right room and give people a reason to engage with them. From intimate winemaker dinners and consumer tastings to restaurant activations, trade events, portfolio showcases, and regional experiences, we design each occasion around the story and identity of the producer.
And when you need a complete hospitality solution, Vinum House can coordinate everything from wine and sommelier service to glassware, staffing, food, and private chef services through Cru Table and Chef Christopher Perry

Content, Social &
Digital Presence
Give the story a place to live.
A brand isn't built once. It is built through every story you tell, every bottle you introduce, and every conversation you create.
Vinum House develops thoughtful content and digital strategies that keep wine brands connected to their audiences long after the tasting is over. We can create and manage your social presence, develop content calendars and campaigns, write the stories behind your wines and winemakers, create educational and editorial content, support email and website communications, and develop the digital moments that bring your brand to life.
Whether you need strategic direction or an ongoing partner to manage the day-to-day, we make sure your brand stays consistent, relevant, and worth paying attention to.
Education &
Trade Engagement
Teach the wine. Build the champions.
We create engaging education experiences that help trade professionals, hospitality teams, retailers, and consumers understand—and champion—your wines.
From staff trainings and sommelier-led masterclasses to regional seminars, producer presentations, and consumer tastings, we make your wines easier to understand, remember, and recommend. Led by WSET Certified Educator Mary Montalvo, every experience is tailored to your story, your wines, and your audience.
Wine Consortiums &
Regional Organizations
A region is more than a place on a map.
Vinum House helps wine regions and regional organizations bring their identity to life through education, trade engagement, hospitality, and experience.
From trade masterclasses and sommelier seminars to consumer tastings, wine dinners, producer showcases, and destination experiences, we create programs that give people a deeper connection to the place, its wines, and the people behind them.
For emerging and lesser-known regions entering new markets, we help build awareness while preserving the authenticity, character, and stories that make the region worth discovering.
HOW WE WORK
No two producers need the same path.
Some producers need a market introduction. Others need a tasting strategy. Some need help telling their story. Others are ready to build a new market from the ground up.
We start by understanding the wine, the people behind it, where you're currently positioned, and where you want to go.
From there, we build a focused engagement around the opportunities that make the most sense.
01
Discover
We learn your story, your wines, your goals, your markets, and where you see the greatest opportunity.
02
Define
We identify the audiences, relationships, experiences, and channels that can move the work forward.
03
Activate
We bring the strategy to life through trade engagement, tastings, education, events, storytelling, and relationship development.
04
Build
The goal isn't a single event or introduction. It's building relationships and recognition that continue to create opportunity.
Grow Your Presence
Small producers. Big stories.
Vinum House was built for the wines that deserve more than a shelf placement.
If you're a producer, regional organization, or wine consortium looking for a thoughtful partner to help introduce your wines to new people and new markets, we'd love to hear your story.
Let's open the bottle.
