Winebinars
Lockdown or not, the Zoom genie is out of the bottle and we like learning (and tasting) from the privacy of our homes. Put Lars in the corner… of your computer screen and let him walk you through a personalized tasting experience, custom tailored for small groups of friends, family and community who simply enjoy wine at any level and appreciate learning a bit more about it.
Small Group Tastings
Whether for a family, group of friends, club or any other gathering of wine lovers, Lars is available to coordinate in-person tastings with customized themes and will handle every detail. Great idea for special occasions or just informal gatherings, this is an unintimidating and friendly way to combine a little education with social enjoyment.
Custom Trips and Tours
Always wanted to explore wine country but were too intimidated to tackle it on your own and not willing to be part of a big tour? Custom tailored wine visits set for your own pace and with insider access make you and your intimate group of family or friends instant VIPS, all within your own comfort zone.
Translation
UN-quality simultaneous voice translation from Italian to English, crystal clear explanation back from English to Italian. Written translation of brochures, label copy, personal correspondence and signage, between both languages in native quality.
Humor, color and cultural nuances inserted where appropriate.
Hand gestures optional!
Winemaker Tours of US Markets

We can coordinate some or all, depending on your resources – presentation, venue, transportation, even Italian/English translation.
Group or Individual Trips to Italy

We have the experience and contacts to lead you down the right roads smoothly, flawlessly, and fruitfully.
