Private Sommelier
In Northumberland
The House Sommelier provides private wine experiences for holiday homes, guest stays, and special occasions.
Based in Northumberland, we offer curated wine tasting, in-home sommelier service, and tailored experiences across Alnwick, the North East, and selected UK bookings.
The House Sommelier is, firstly, a house of its own.
Formed around judgement, discretion and the quiet assurance of proper hospitality.
For Northumberland’s coastal houses of consequence.
We bring the structure and standards of our house to yours — adapting to season, setting and company — ensuring the experience belongs entirely to the home in which it is served.
Wine selected with judgement.
Poured with intent.
Presented without intrusion.
Rooted in Northumberland.
Informed by private cellar relationships and specialist networks spanning regions of heritage and modernity.
Nothing excessive.
Only what belongs on the table.

Provenance. Allocation. Narrative.
Working through trusted cellar relationships and specialist import networks, Peter curates selections defined by structure, vintage character and sense of place.
Each progression is measured. Each bottle chosen with intent.

The Experience
Each table is approached individually.
We consider the character of the house, the rhythm of the stay, and the expectations of the host before a bottle is opened.
Wines are drawn from regions of tradition and innovation — selected for provenance, structure and sense of place.
Progression is intentional.
Pacing is measured.
Conversation is guided, never forced.
We arrive prepared.
We depart discreetly.
Glassware, sequence and presentation are handled entirely.
Designed to integrate seamlessly into holiday home stays and add value for both guests and property owners.
