Bespoke Gastronomic Experiences, Thoughtfully Composed.
From the first course to the final pour.
Your Vision. Thoughtfully Curated.
It begins with what you want the experience to feel like.Perhaps you have a particular cuisine in mind. A favorite venue. A private chef you love. A place, a memory, or a mood you want the evening to evoke.Or perhaps you simply have the occasion.Soleil Sommelier takes it from there—bringing clarity to the culinary direction, refining the menu, and composing an experience in which food and wine come together with intention.
Bring us the vision—or simply bring us the occasion.
Food and Wine, Curated as One.
A beautiful menu deserves more than a collection of excellent wines.Each course is considered within the progression of the entire experience—the flavors, textures, preparation, intensity, and the way one course leads naturally into the next.The wines are selected with the same intention.For a multi-course dinner, that may mean a distinct pairing for every course. For a more fluid gathering or elevated buffet, it may mean a thoughtfully composed selection designed to move effortlessly across the menu.Where the occasion calls for it, alternate pairings can offer guests choice without compromising the experience.
Every course tells part of the story. Every pour should, too.
Imagine the Experience.
You sit down with the dishes and wines being considered for your event.We taste. We compare. We refine.One pairing may transform a course. Another may reveal something unexpected. A third may simply be undeniable.Together with your culinary partner and wine purveyor, we make the final selections.By the end of the tasting, you have experienced your menu before your guests ever arrive.
And when the occasion comes, you can simply enjoy it.
A Perspective Shaped at Tables Around the World.
For René Little, gastronomy has long been one of the most meaningful ways to experience the world.Her perspective has been shaped through years of traveling internationally and seeking out memorable food and wine experiences—from Michelin-starred restaurants and chef’s tables to exceptional family-owned establishments, regional kitchens, and local discoveries that reveal something distinctive about a place.She approaches those experiences with curiosity—asking questions, engaging with chefs and sommeliers, understanding the ingredients, techniques, traditions, and stories behind what is on the plate and in the glass.
That curiosity travels home with her.
René recreates and reinterprets dishes inspired by her travels, bringing international flavors and culinary traditions into her own kitchen and into the experiences she creates for others.Her perspective is complemented by formal wine education as a Certified Specialist of Wine (CSW) through the Society of Wine Educators and holder of the WSET Level 2 Award in Wines and Spirits from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust.
Soleil Sommelier brings that global perspective, discernment, and curiosity to your table.
Bring Us the Occasion.
An intimate dinner.A milestone celebration.A housewarming.An anniversary.A private reception.Or an occasion entirely your own.
Bring us your vision—or simply bring us the occasion. We’ll take it from there.
