Good to know
Everything guests need to relax into the evening.
Who buys the wine?
The host purchases all wine directly from a licensed retailer or winery using Avery’s tailored list. Avery’s invoice covers planning, coordination and professional hosting.
Does Avery prepare the food?
Food stays deliberately secondary. Avery creates the pairing brief and can coordinate with a trusted catering partner for tapas, boards or small plates.
What does the host need to provide?
A suitable table or gathering space, enough glassware and water for the group, and any venue information Avery needs. Rentals can be recommended when required.
Can the evening use bottles already in our cellar?
Absolutely. A Collector’s Evening is ideal for opening meaningful bottles with the right preparation, pairings and story.
How far will Avery travel?
Private events are designed for the Central and South Okanagan, with destinations beyond the core area quoted individually.
