A great way to discover the world of wine

Hi, I’m dannis apeldoorn

Welcome to my website, AD Wines!                                                                I am Dannis Apeldoorn, a passionate wine expert with almost 25 years of experience in the Luxury Hospitality industry. During my career as Head Sommelier in a five-star hotel with a two Michelin Star rewarded restaurant, one of the tasks was to manage an exclusive wine cellar with approximately 850 different wine labels.
My expertise lies in profiling wines to meet your unique expectations, pursue the highest level of satisfaction, create seamless purchasing experiences, and create an enjoyable wine pairing.
Whether you are a novice wine lover or a seasoned collector, my services are suitable for anyone who would like to discover classic but also new and special wines. From a case of house wine or adding to your existing wine collection to finding rare and sought-after bottles, I offer tailor-made solutions based on your specific needs and desires. Carrying out an extensive inventory of a wine cellar, acquiring wines from private cellars and strategically adding or replacing them are also possible.
I believe that personal attention and accompanying exceptional service are paramount. That's why I focus on maintaining a small client base so that I can offer dedicated, one-on-one services.
Thank you for visiting my website. With my extensive knowledge and dedication to wine, I am confident that together we can discover the perfect wines to enhance your enjoyment and appreciation. I look forward to starting this exciting journey with you.

My Approach

It all begins with your idea to have your own wine collection. Maybe you want to learn to describe what you like when ordering a wine. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you want to invest in wine. Whatever it is, I am open for consultation.

Dream it

Don’t worry about sounding not as a professional or not knowing. Sound like you. I can translate your dream into reality. The sky is the limit.

Build it

Be clear and confident, build the knowledge, get to know what is possible, discover your limits and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your dream and story is that it’s going to continue to the next chapter. Your own wine profile for your wine collection.
