Seth Orvis

For four years now, I have been working for Classic Wine of California (the largest privately owned grape growers in the US) as the On-Premise Specialist in the Bay Area. As well as knowing many of the local restaurant owners in the South Bay, I have been able to help get a larger contribution to the IHC event over the past two years.

My wine knowledge goes beyond my involvement in the industry for a number of years, but also have completed my Sommelier training through the Court of Master Sommeliers. This has helped to not only teach the students about tasting, history, but also the service of wine. Very helpful for Hospitality majors interested in tourism.
