The Cellar Table

Every pick is a bottle on this list. Out-of-budget wines are dropped automatically.

How it works

From a printed menu to a confident answer in three steps.

01
Add your list
Paste your wine list exactly as it is. Elavino reads messy menus and turns them into clean, editable rows — or type bottles in by hand.
02
Ask in plain language
“Something bold under $90 for a ribeye.” No wine jargon, no training. Staff and guests just ask the way they'd ask a person.
03
Pour with confidence
Get a few grounded picks, each with a short line your staff can say out loud — drawn only from bottles you stock right now.

Dark fruit and grip that holds up to a fatty cut.
Ridge Three Valleys$64
Ripe and structured, an easy table favorite.

Who it's for

One wine list, working for everyone on the floor.

For owners

Your list stays the truth

Elavino only ever recommends wines you've added. Prices and availability come from your database — not from a model's imagination.

For staff

An answer in seconds, on any phone

Open a link, ask, and get a pairing plus a talking point to copy. No login, no dashboard, no training shift required.

For guests

Help at the table, anonymously

Scan the QR, confirm legal drinking age, and ask for a suggestion. No app, no account, and nothing personal collected.

Built on one rule

AI can suggest. The list decides.

The model reasons and writes — it never invents data. Your database is the source of truth for every bottle, price, and pour.

Grounded, never invented

Every recommendation is validated against your live list. A wine that's out of stock, archived, or over budget is dropped before anyone sees it.

Talking points for staff

Each pick comes with a short, sayable line — one tap to copy, ready to repeat to the table.

Guest QR at the table

Print a code for each table. It opens an age-gated ask page branded to your restaurant.

Messy lists welcome

Paste a list with dashes, commas, or pipes. Elavino parses it into reviewable rows and flags anything that needs a second look.

Pricing

Simple per-restaurant pricing, coming soon.

Questions

What restaurants ask before they start.

What is Elavino?: Elavino is an AI wine assistant for restaurants. It reads your wine list and answers pairing questions in plain language — recommending only the bottles you actually pour. It never invents a wine, a vintage, or a price.
How does Elavino avoid recommending wines we don't stock?: Every suggestion is validated against your live list before it reaches the screen. Bottles that are out of stock, archived, or over budget are dropped automatically. The model is allowed to reason and write the answer, but your database is the source of truth for every bottle, price, and pour.
Do my staff need wine training or a sommelier to use it?: No. Staff and guests ask the way they'd ask a person — “something bold under $90 for a ribeye” — and get a few grounded picks, each with a short line they can say out loud. There's no login, no dashboard, and no training shift required.
Can guests use it at the table?: Yes. Each table gets a QR code that opens an age-gated ask page branded to your restaurant. Guests confirm legal drinking age, ask for a suggestion, and get an answer — with no app, no account, and nothing personal collected.
What does Elavino cost?: You can try the full experience free right now — paste a wine list and ask a question, no account needed. Per-restaurant subscription pricing, with a free trial, is rolling out now.
