She most recently worked as a sommelier at Gramercy Tavern, where she felt at home, celebrating farmers, vegetables, and lower Manhattan, some of her favorite things. She loves female winemakers, natural wines, wine-centric travel, unconventional pairings, anything in large format, and anything with bubbles.

Night Inn is a platform that brings you on-location (in-office, in-home) and online experiences led by the industry’s premier talent. Our mission is to bring togetherness to you. We offer in-person experiences in NYC, and virtual experiences nationwide.
When you book an experience with Night Inn, you’ll get a private and interactive experience guided by one of our many Experts. We make the process easy for you - select a date and time, and tell us a bit about yourself and your group, and we'll take care of getting all of the necessary materials to you to enjoy an exciting hospitality experience wherever you are!
Your Expert will come directly to your location, for a ~90 minute, interactive, engaging hospitality experience. We mix together hands-on sessions, games, and tips & tricks from the industry to bring all the best elements of the hospitality industry directly to you. We can also cater to more casual groups who are looking to come in-and-out of the experience for a few minutes at a time, or include Night Inn as part of a larger event.
You can customize your experience (theme, materials, etc.) during your booking process, and all materials arrive at your door in the days leading up to the experience to make it easy to host your group.
Our virtual experiences are just like our live experiences, but offered for groups that might not be in NYC, or aren't comfortable gathering in-person. We'll work with you to get all materials shipped to your group (or picked up locally), and conduct an interactive experience via Zoom.
Experts are the incredible industry professionals who lead our experiences and make Night Inn possible. They are trained professionals with a minimum of 5 years in the restaurant industry and have been vetted by the Night Inn team for fit and fun.
Yes we do! Check out our corporate booking form on our homepage or reach out to us at concierge@nightinnexperience.com for more information!
We offer on-site, private sessions with industry experts that are also personalized and interactive in nature. We aim to bring a feeling of togetherness to your home by making the experience less of a lecture and more about building connections and engaging in a fun, interactive dialogue together.
For smaller, in-home groups, it's as simple as booking your Expert's time (starting at $200), and from there we'll facilitate the ordering of all materials through our retail partners at prices that are flexible for your group's budget. For our larger groups, we make it simple to manage the full experience by giving you an estimated per-person budget ($55-$85) that includes all of your materials, and we take care of orders on your behalf, so everything will show up at your desired location leading up to the experience.
Absolutely! Your gift card will apply directly to the cost of their session. You can find gift cards directly on our home page.
Should you feel that you had a positive and unique experience with your Expert, we recommend that you tip them for their services at a 15 - 20% range of the session fee. 100% of your tip will go directly to your Host.
We work with trusted retail partners to ensure we only have the highest-quality ingredients, that also make for an exciting experience!
For our virtual experiences outside of NYC, fill out a quick intake form as part of the booking process, and we'll work with our team of experts and local retailers to put together and exciting offering for you!
Not much, but your Expert will be in touch with you to share any specific preparation instructions (e.g. storing your wine at the right temperature) and answer any questions you may have leading up to the session. For virtual experiences, please do make sure that you have your session’s unique meeting link available to access and a strong Wi-Fi connection.
Yes, please!
You may cancel a session up to 48 hours in advance. However, should you select to have your wines chosen and shipped to you, you may be charged for the wines if the delivery is already in-process.
