managing the complete lifecycle of fine wine collections

Underpinned by more than twenty years inside the global Fine & Rare Wine auction market, Vintage Cellar Consulting works with serious collectors, families, and their advisors to manage the complete lifecycle of a fine wine collection - from inventory, storage and acquisition, through maturity, disposition, and long-term planning.

comprehensive stewardship

As collections grow, the challenge becomes less about buying wine and more about maintaining control: knowing what is owned, where it is stored, what should be consumed, what should be acquired, and when property should be sold or transferred.

Guidance for families and advisors managing inherited collections and eventual disposition. 

When a collection is too important to manage casually

  • Wine is held in multiple residences or storage facilities
  • New purchases are arriving faster than records are being maintained
  • Mature wines need decisions on whether to be drunk, held, or sold
  • The cellar has grown beyond informal inventory management
  • A major auction or disposition is being considered
  • An estate, move, or generational transition requires professional oversight

putting the collector in control

insights earned from decades of commercial leadership

Founder Samantha Compono Harrigan brings over two decades of experience in fine and rare wine auctions, private-client strategy, collection development, and disposition. Her career has included senior commercial leadership, and hundreds of auctions across the United States, Europe, and Asia. 


That experience now informs a collector-first advisory model built around long-term stewardship rather than individual transactions. 

for family offices & trusted advisors

We work confidentially alongside wealth advisors, attorneys, estate managers, private-client insurers, and family offices when significant wine holdings requires specialist expertise.


Vintage Cellar Consulting remains within the wine-collection mandate and can serve as a discreet specialist resource without disrupting the broader advisor relationship.

exceptional collections require thoughtful stewardship

Whether the need is ongoing collection management, an independent cellar review, acquisition guidance, or a major disposition, we begin by understanding the collection and the owner's objectives.
