The Cuvée Collection

The Cuvée Collection is a personally curated selection of wines chosen by Carol Wolniakowski, sommelier and founder of Cuvée Wine Travel.

These are wines I’ve tasted, vetted, and selected because they tell a story—of place, craftsmanship, and character. Many are from the same regions I feature in my wine-focused journeys around the world. Others are standout bottles that consistently overdeliver and deserve a place at the table.

It’s a thoughtful edit—designed for people who love wine, travel well, and appreciate quality over quantity.

How the Collection Works

Each wine in The Cuvée Collection is:

• Personally selected and approved by me

• Chosen for balance, authenticity, and sense of place

• Priced to offer excellent value for the quality

• Available in limited quantities

When you click to order, you’ll be directed to my trusted retail partner, BottlePop, who handles all ordering, shipping, and fulfillment.

Why I Created This Collection

After years of planning wine journeys and hosting tastings, clients kept asking the same question:

“What wines do you personally drink and recommend?”

The Cuvée Collection is my answer.

It allows me to share exceptional wines I genuinely love—without carrying inventory or compromising on quality—while giving you direct access to bottles you might not otherwise discover.

Each wine includes my tasting notes, pairing suggestions, and context on why it earned a place in the collection.
