Storyseller
Sessions

Wine with a story worth remembering.

An hour of wine, narrative, and curiosity — curated for museums, country clubs, private events, and restaurants. You choose the story. Austin brings the wines.

The Concept

Not a tasting.
A story told in wine.

Each Storyseller Session pairs 4–6 wines with a single, carefully researched narrative thread. Hawaiian winemakers. Bottles from active conflict zones. Women who built vineyards in the Pacific Northwest. Labels designed to deceive.

The wines aren't just what's in the glass. They're evidence of something — a culture, a struggle, a point of view. Austin connects them into a story your guests will talk about long after the last pour.

Already hosted at The Museum of Arts. Now available for private booking.

The Format

Simple. Repeatable. Memorable.

You handle the venue and provide the wines. Austin handles everything else — the research, the narrative, the pacing, and the room.

60–90
minutes per session
4–6
wines per topic
$300
per event (you provide wine)

Venues can sell the featured wines directly. The session becomes a natural, low-pressure retail moment — guests already know the story behind every bottle.

Where It Works

The right room for any room.

Storyseller Sessions are designed to work wherever people gather around a table.

Museums Country Clubs Golf Clubs Private Events Restaurants Corporate Events Wedding Receptions Art Galleries

Austin Corley

Austin isn't a sommelier. He's a storyteller who happens to love wine — and knows how to make a room lean in.

He's hosted Storyseller Sessions at the Museum of Arts and has built a growing library of 18 curated topics — each one researched, tested, and refined in front of real audiences. The goal isn't to make you an expert. It's to make the next bottle you open mean something more than it did before.
