About
Hey there!With more than a decade of experience in the food and wine industry, I'm a fervent aficionado of wine. My expertise lies in providing sommelier services and wine consultations. I've not only worked in the New York wine industry, but I've also pursued an MBA in Food and Wine from the prestigious University of Bologna, Italy. Additionally, I have maintained my sommelier certification for over ten years.
I provide both professional and personal services. For professional services, you can rely on me for sommelier consultations for restaurants, retail shops, and catering spaces. I'm also adept at creating wine lists for establishments.
On the personal front, I'm more than happy to cater to bachelorette parties, arrange food and wine pairings, conduct wine tastings, organize classes, and host local events.
I can't wait to share my passion for wine with you.
Looking forward to hearing back from you soon!

Ilana was absolutely incredible! We hosted a house party with around 40 people and had 11 exceptional wines on offer. Ilana was a crowd pleaser, effortlessly interacting with guests and demonstrating a vast knowledge on the featured wines and other wines in general. Her expertise and ability to answer any questions put to her was quite impressive. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ilana and definitely plan on hiring her services again in the future.

Although it has been some time since our event, I feel compelled to offer my thoughts on Ilana's exceptional services. Prior to the pandemic, we hosted a wine tasting in our home, and Ilana impressed us with her abundant knowledge and attentive recommendations for a diverse range of wines at varying price points. Her flexibility and responsiveness made the process seamless, and we would certainly seek her expertise as our sommelier for any upcoming wine tasting occasions.

I highly recommend Ilana for anyone in search of a knowledgeable and communicative event coordinator. She was a pleasure to work with, readily offering her expertise in selecting the perfect wines and pairing them with delectable charcuterie and cheese options. Ilana's engaging presentation style appealed to both novice and seasoned wine lovers, as she provided a solid foundation of information and fielded an array of questions from the crowd. Her pricing was reasonable, and she was accommodating as our guest list evolved. I will certainly be reaching out to Ilana again for my next event.
