Before
A 20-minute call establishes budget, purpose, favourite foods and how adventurous you want to be.
Assisted wine shopping
A better case, built together.
Meet Avery at a favourite retailer or winery and turn an hour of shopping into a collection with purpose.
Advice at the shelf
More useful than a list. More personal than an app.
Avery arrives knowing your taste, your budget and what is already in your cellar. She can adapt when a bottle is unavailable, spot a better value and explain each choice in the moment.
You leave with wines you understand, a reason for every bottle and notes on when to open them.

Where do shopping sessions happen?
Avery and the client agree on a licensed retailer or winery that suits the goal, budget and region. Multi-stop sessions are included only when the selected package says so.
Who handles payment and transportation?
The client pays the seller directly and remains responsible for transporting the wine. Avery invoices only for her consulting time and agreed travel.
What if a recommended bottle is sold out?
That is exactly where shopping together helps. Avery can compare the available vintage, producer, region and price, then suggest the best substitute in real time.
Will Avery respect a firm bottle budget?
Yes. The budget is agreed before the visit, with room allocated across everyday, entertaining and special bottles according to the client’s priorities.
Can the session focus only on BC wine?
Yes—or it can deliberately mix Okanagan favourites with international benchmarks and new discoveries. The collection follows the client’s curiosity.
A personal first step
Meet at the shop. Leave with a collection.
