Sommelier · Denver, CO · Available to Travel
Private wine events in Denver and beyond — and small-group journeys to the world's most overlooked wine regions. Both led by Molly Montgomery, sommelier.
Whether I'm hosting a private tasting in your living room or leading a small group through the vineyards of Georgia, the intention is the same — wine as a lens into something deeper. A story. A culture. A moment that stays with you.
"Unsung regions.
Unforgettable experiences."
Locally, I design curated wine events for private groups, corporate gatherings, and celebrations — wherever you are, I'll come to you. And for those ready to travel, I lead small-group journeys to the world's most overlooked wine regions — Georgia, Slovenia, Greece, Croatia, and beyond. Where you're a guest, not a tourist.
Sommelier. Wine educator. Hospitality veteran. I've spent my career at the intersection of wine, food, and human connection — from James Beard Award-winning kitchens to fine dining and luxury hospitality. I know the winemakers. And I want to bring you with me.
Wherever curious people gather, we show up with exceptional wine and the stories behind it. Intimate by design, intentional in every detail — and I travel. Your home, your venue, your city. If you can gather people, I can be there.
A guided tasting built to teach, not intimidate. Region & varietal storytelling, guided flight, take-home tasting card.
Wine 101 Experience 02Less structure, more conversation. Elevated wine flows, people mingle. Ideal for apartment events and mixers.
Casual Tasting 03Every course paired with intention. Custom printed menus, full hosting through dinner service, coordinates with your chef.
Paired Dining 04An intimate, elevated in-home experience. Feels like you hired a sommelier for the evening — because you did.
In-Home Experience 05For launches, corporate events, and brand activations. Wine becomes part of the story you’re telling.
Corporate & Activation 06Birthdays, bachelorettes, anniversaries. Moments that deserve more than a bar tab. Wine as the centerpiece of a memory.
Milestone & PartyEvery experience is fully customized. View all six packages, how wine works, and inquire to book. I travel.
Eight thousand years before Napa, before Bordeaux — there was Georgia. A small country in the Caucasus where wine is a way of life. Where qvevri clay vessels are buried in the earth and families still make wine the way their ancestors did millennia ago.
Descend into underground cellars where amber wine has fermented in clay vessels for centuries. Taste wines simply not available in the United States.
Georgia's sacred feast tradition. Hours of elaborate toasts, polyphonic singing, and course after course of khachapuri, churchkhela, and pkhali.
Rolling vineyards backed by snow-capped Caucasus peaks, 6th-century monasteries, and family guesthouses surrounded by vines. 8,000 years of history, zero crowds.
Cobblestone streets, Art Nouveau architecture, sulfur baths, and wine bars pouring qvevri wines alongside 525 indigenous grape varieties.
Make khachapuri alongside local women. Visit UNESCO World Heritage monasteries. Discover the ancient cave city of Uplistsikhe. Georgia's history is visceral and everywhere.
Not a checklist. We build in free time, spontaneous detours, and room to breathe. The best travel moments happen when you're not rushing to the next stop.
Maria is the founder of Ambrosia Winery in Tbilisi. Her relationships open doors that simply don't open for outsiders. Together, we don't just visit Georgia — we belong there.
