What is Sommtable?
Sommtable is a digital platform that helps wine, beverage, and hospitality pros host curated 6-seat tasting experiences—matched to guests who come for business networking, dating, or discovery.
Who can apply to host?
If you're a sommelier, wine educator, chef, mixologist, or experienced beverage guide, you're welcome to apply—whether you're independent or affiliated with a venue.
What’s the 6-seat experience?
Each Sommtable event brings together six matched guests around a curated tasting hosted by you. It’s intimate, social, and purpose-driven.
How much can I earn as a host?
You set your own pricing per seat. Sommtable helps you fill the table—how much you earn depends on the format, demand, and your experience.
How does the guest matching work?
Guests complete a brief questionnaire—our algorithm places them at the best-fitting tables, whether they’re looking to network, date, or just explore wine.
Can I choose what I serve or teach?
Yes! You design the tasting experience—wine, spirits, food pairings, education style. Sommtable supports your creativity.
Where can I host a Sommtable?
Anywhere you can set the vibe—restaurants, wineries, private spaces, tasting rooms, or event venues.
What’s the cost to host?
There’s no upfront fee to apply or join. Sommtable earns a small platform fee only when your table fills and the event is booked.
How do I get started?
Just apply using the short form. Once approved, you'll be guided through creating your first tasting experience.
What’s the “Honorary Founder” program?
The first 50 approved hosts will be recognized as Sommtable Founders—with platform perks, special visibility, and a featured role in our growing community.
