IT that understands the rhythm of wine country.

From tasting room networks to multi-site infrastructure, we manage the technology behind hospitality operations that can't afford downtime — especially on a Saturday in harvest season.

What we handle

  • We design and build networks for wineries from the ground up — or modernize what's already there. Wired, wireless, segmented for POS, staff, guest, and production. Whether you're opening a new tasting room or inheriting a patchwork of aging equipment, we start with a clear picture and build toward something reliable.

  • Ownership changes are some of the most technically complex moments a winery faces. New identity platforms, new security standards, new IT expectations — and operations can't pause while it happens. We've led full infrastructure rebuilds and tenant migrations for acquired properties, ensuring a clean handoff with no disruption to staff or guests.

  • Tasting rooms and restaurants are payment-heavy environments with seasonal staff, shared terminals, and vendors constantly touching your network. We manage the security layer across all of it — and for properties that need formal PCI validation, we've run the full audit program from policy development through remediation to sign-off.

  • Lost your IT director? Outgrown your current provider? We step in as your interim IT lead — coordinating with executive leadership, keeping operations stable, and either managing the transition to a new internal hire or staying on as your long-term partner.

  • Your staff gets a working machine and the right access on day one. When someone leaves, access is removed the same day. We handle the full lifecycle so you don't have to think about it.Item description

  • Day-to-day support, proactive monitoring, vendor management, and strategic planning — handled by someone who knows your environment and picks up the phone when you call.

We've spent years managing technology for wineries, tasting rooms, and hospitality venues across Napa Valley — through openings, acquisitions, compliance audits, and everything in between. When you call us, you're not explaining what a PMS is or why harvest season changes everything. We already know.

We know this industry because we've worked in it.
