Private Estates
Personal Access
Vineyard Confidential delivers authentic, unique experiences at estates closed to the public through relationships built over twenty-five years across the world's premier wine and spirits regions.
Begin Your Journey
Over 25 years, from Windows on the World to Christie's to crafting beverage programs for Michelin three-star restaurants and Las Vegas's finest hotels, Ian has built trusted relationships with estates across the World.
These aren’t transactional partnerships. These aren't transactional partnerships. They're friendships forged over decades, the kind that earn you a seat at the family table, a walk through a cellar that isn't on any tour, a tasting of vintages that were never released commercially. That access is now yours.
Every journey begins with conversation. Let's discuss your interests, timing, and what would make this meaningful. How can we be of service today?
Regional Immersion
Twenty-five years of relationships with family estates throughout each region have given us something money cannot replicate: local knowledge. The neighborhood trattoria where winemakers gather. The workshops, art collections, and cultural institutions their families trust us to share. The stories and connections that take a lifetime to earn. We translate these relationships into your complete immersion.
