Private wine experiences for yachts and villas

Champagne flutes set out for service on board, a silver ice bucket behind them, and the Bosphorus with its moored boats beyond.

Wine, shaped around your stay

I create private wine experiences for guests staying aboard yachts, in villas and private residences, from a tasting built around the occasion to wines selected for a dinner, celebration or stay.

The wines can be selected and sourced with my support, or I can create the experience around bottles you already have. I work directly with private clients as well as with the captains, crew, concierges, villa teams and travel professionals looking after them.

A private experience, your way

Private tastings & wine experiences
- A tasting, masterclass or wine-led moment designed around your guests, their level of interest and the occasion. It can stand on its own or become part of a dinner, celebration or evening at the yacht or villa.
Wine selection & sourcing support
- Recommendations shaped around your tastes, menu, guests, occasion and budget. Where required, I can also assist with sourcing and coordinate delivery with the appropriate suppliers.
Dinners & private occasions
- Wine planning for dinners, celebrations, receptions and private gatherings, from selecting the wines and advising on pairings to creating a tasting or another wine experience within the occasion.

Your wines are welcome too

You may already have the wines you want to open, whether they come from your own cellar, have been chosen by your chef or are simply bottles you would like to understand better.

I can build the tasting or conversation around your selection, adapting the level of detail to the guests and the moment.

For a longer stay or a private cellar

For guests planning several meals or occasions, I can also help shape the wine selection across the stay rather than treating each bottle or dinner separately.

Depending on what is needed, this can include:

Reviewing an existing selection
Identifying gaps and suggesting additions
Planning wines around menus and occasions
Food and wine pairing with the chef or menu
Sourcing support and delivery coordination

For yacht crews

I also provide practical wine training for yacht teams who want to strengthen their wine knowledge, confidence around wine service and ability to communicate about wine with guests.

Exploring beyond the yacht or villa?

I also design and personally host private days around the wine, gastronomy and culture of the French Riviera, shaped around your time ashore and what you would like to discover.

Experience & discretion

I am used to working in private settings where flexibility, discretion and attention to the guests matter as much as wine knowledge.

Based in Nice, I work across the French Riviera and Monaco and can travel for private engagements elsewhere in France and internationally.

Planning a wine experience for your yacht or villa?

Tell me where you will be, your dates, the number of guests and what you have in mind. If you already have wines, a menu or a particular occasion planned, include those too and I can suggest the right way to approach it.
