HSB Wine Consulting: Fine Wine PR and Winemaking Support for Small and Mid-Sized Wineries

Most small wineries make wine worth writing about, but few have the time or budget to get it in front of the right writers, editors and buyers. That's where HSB Wine Consulting comes in.

Our team brings more than 20 years of combined wine industry experience across PR, marketing and winemaking. We've worked on everything from fine wine brands to boutique labels, engaging with the press and hauling hoses in the cellar. You get help making the wine and telling its story, from one team.
