My name is Gigi Gleason

I'm the Founder and Chief Experience Officer at Cork Collective, dedicated to elevating events through exceptional beverage experiences. With over 20 years in the events industry, I've designed and executed hundreds of events and created multiple award-winning corporate event programs.

 

My expertise includes a degree in Computer Science, studies in Hotel and Restaurant Management, and advanced wine studies such as WSET Level 3, French Wine Scholar, and California Appellation Specialist. I've studied at prestigious institutions including Napa Valley Wine Academy, San Francisco Wine School, École du Vins de Bourgogne, and École du Vins de Bordeaux.

 

Passionate about the transformative power of wine, I believe it blends art and science to enhance occasions with meaning and beauty. My mission is to foster connection and purpose through curated wine experiences, making each event not just memorable, but truly magical.

 

I'm excited to share this magic with you!​
