Every event is different. We build custom beverage programs, not packages. Here's how we can help.
Full Beverage Service
Licensed and insured wine, beer, cider, mead, and sake service. We bring our own setup, glassware, and staff, and handle everything from first pour to last.
Menu-Driven Pairing
Share your menu and we build the wine list around it, course by course. Each pour is chosen to complement a specific dish, not selected from a generic list.
Beverage Delivery Only
We don't have to be on-site. We can simply provide the beverages, delivered and ready to pour, with meaningful quantity discounts on larger orders.
Open & Cash Bars
We run open bars (host-funded) or cash bars (guest-funded) with professional service, full setup, and curated selections of natural wine, beer, cider, mead, and sake. Plus low-proof cocktails like spritzes, bellinis, and wine-based punches.
Wine Education
Sommelier-led tastings and guided pairings available as a standalone experience or integrated into your event. A natural complement to chef's dinners and intimate gatherings.
Food Platters & Boards
Artisan cheese, cured meats, and dessert boards built from the same producers we serve in our Poulsbo bar. Wine-friendly food designed to pair with whatever we're pouring.
Also on the Menu
Low-proof cocktails: spritzes, bellinis, wine punches, vermouth tonics, and more.

Events We Love
Case Study
When a couple decided to elope and then throw a proper weekend for the people they love, they knew the wine had to match the moment. The menu drew on wild Pacific Northwest ingredients: foraged salmonberry, Penn Cove mussels, Dungeness crab, morels and nettle ricotta, smoked côte de bœuf. What they needed was a beverage program that felt just as intentional. Every bottle chosen to complement a specific dish. Every pour timed to a specific moment.

Why Preservation
Most beverage caterers pick from a distributor list. We start with hundreds of bottles on our own shelves, with access to thousands more through our distribution and import partners. If the perfect wine for your event exists, we'll find it.
We complement your food.
Pairings built around your menu, never competing with it. Course by course, not bottle by bottle.
Licensed & insured.
WA State catering endorsement for off-site sales and service. You don't carry the liability.
All natural.
Certified or practicing organic, native yeast, minimal intervention. Nothing to apologize for in anyone's glass.
Your setup, handled.
Our own bar setup, stemless glassware (available for an additional fee), ice, and staff. We work around your service.
Unmatched sourcing.
Hundreds of bottles from around the world in our shop, with access to thousands more through distribution and import partners. If it exists, we can get it.
Pre-event tastings.

The Licensing, Handled
We hold a catering endorsement on our Washington State liquor license, permitting us to sell and serve alcohol at events beyond our shop: private homes, catered venues, corporate spaces, and ticketed public events. If your venue doesn't have a liquor license, or you simply want a knowledgeable beverage partner to handle the selection and service, we take that piece off your plate entirely.
Industry Partners
Whether you're cooking, hosting, or coordinating, we plug into your workflow as a beverage partner. No overlap, no friction.
For Caterers & Chefs
We pour. You cook.
Send us your menu and we build the pairings around it, course by course. We coordinate timing with your team, arrive with beverages properly chilled, and stay out of the kitchen's way. The beverage program runs on your service rhythm.
For Venues
Wine service, anywhere you need it.
If your venue doesn't have a liquor license, or you simply want a knowledgeable beverage partner, we step in. We handle the selection, bring our own setup, and make the beverage program feel intentional rather than incidental.
For Event Planners
One vendor. Entire beverage program.
Wine, beer, cider, mead, sake, food platters, glassware, setup, service, and cleanup. We simplify your vendor list and elevate the beverage experience your clients remember.
Service Area
Serving the greater Puget Sound region. Travel fees apply based on distance from our Poulsbo location. Contact us for events outside these areas.
Your event, next.
Every event we build starts with a conversation. Tell us about your menu, your venue, and your guests, and we'll return with a custom quote. Wine, beer, cider, mead, sake, and low-proof cocktails, curated to the occasion.
