The Sommelier apron is unique and has been designed to distinguish wine waiters and professional cellar masters or Sommeliers from general waiting staff. The round neck shape is a particular feature, especially created to accommodate a shirt and tie.
A sommelier (pronounced suh.meh.lee.ay) is a trained and knowledgeable wine professional, typically working in a fine dining restaurant. Sommeliers are responsible for every aspect of the wine service, starting with the creation of the restaurant wine list and ending with floor service to restaurant.
Did you know that there are different types of sommeliers? They include a beer sommelier, water sommelier, coffee sommelier, milk sommelier, and sake sommelier.
A sommelier is often for the development of wine lists and books and for the delivery of wine service and training for the other restaurant staff. Working along side the culinary team, they match and suggest wines that will best complement each food menu item. This requires a deep knowledge of how food and wine, beer, spirits and other beverages work together with flavours.
A high quality sommelier apron needs to be fit for purpose and beautiful to look at. We can create a high-quality bespoke apron, using practical fabrics and unique details, like leather straps, brass eyelets and contrast stitching.
You may just love the look of the sommelier apron and want to recreate that look for your setting. We have an experienced bespoke team who will be able to work with you to create the design.
