We build wine programs that sell more and waste less — and close the evening with high-end baked desserts worth talking about.
For venues of medium and high range that do not keep a resident sommelier — and for anyone who believes the last course deserves the same care as the first.
We audit your existing wine list or build one from scratch — styled to your venue, your menu and your guests, increasing wine sales while cutting waste and unsold stock.
Our signature speciality. Restaurant-quality baked desserts and pâtisserie — signature plated sweets, dessert menus engineered to raise check averages and give guests a reason to stay for one more course.
Sweet wine, sparkling and fortified pairings matched to your pastry menu — the after-dinner moment where margins are highest and guests are most delighted.
Training for floor staff and kitchen teams: how to present, pour and upsell — so the list sells itself even without a sommelier in the room.
Elegant digital wine and dessert menus — always current, cost-free to reprint, and in full respect of hygiene regulations.
We constantly scout new wines and artisan producers in Italy and worldwide, connecting venues with bottles their guests cannot find elsewhere.
Most consultants stop at the cellar. We don't. Decanter Consulting specializes in high-end baked desserts — the course that turns a good evening into an unforgettable one, and a two-glass table into a four-glass table.
From a single signature torta to a full pâtisserie program, we design desserts that suit your kitchen's reality: feasible for your team, beautiful on the plate, and impossible to decline.
“Decanter Consulting was born from years of experience and from the belief that wine is an essential part of a venue — and deserves the right attention and presentation.”Kevin Barbagallo — Founder & Sommelier
