For wineries with a tasting room

Chat with your wine.

A QR code on every bottle and menu. Guests scan and ask anything: what it tastes like, what the summer was like, what grows under the vines. They order from their phone and pay at the end. You set it all up by chatting.

Type your website. We do the rest. 30 days free, no card.

Hi, I'm Estate Riesling.
Off-dry, zesty and fruity.
Was it a warm year?
Warmer than most: 61 of 87 summers here were cooler. That's the ripe peach you taste.

For guests

Every bottle can answer.

Short answers at the bar, with one small picture when it helps. Real depth for anyone who keeps asking: the soil profile, the vineyard from space, every summer since 1940.

What will I taste?
Off-dry and zesty, light as skim milk, with peach and honeysuckle.

Why does it taste so ripe?
A hot August, then a wet September. The acid came out softer, so this lot became bubbles.

For the tasting room

The bar, run from the phone in their hand.

Ordering lives inside the chat, so "help me choose" ends in a pour, not a form. Staff see it all by name.

Order by name

A tab opens with a first name and a table. Another round is one tap. Pay once at the end, or at the counter.

The tab is the flight

Each pour gets a card: tell me more, a heart, or not for me. The next round builds itself from what they loved.

A board behind the bar

Every order live on an iPad, by name and place, with the guest's favourites on the ticket. Serve, mark paid, done.

Paid on their phone

Apple Pay and cards through your own Stripe account, tips included. Counter and cash land in the same ledger.

The terroir engine

Eighty-six summers behind every vintage.

When a winery joins, Cuvaio finds the vineyard and computes its growing season for every year since 1940. Each vintage is ranked against the site's own record, so "a warm year" means something. The story writes itself from the facts. You approve it by chat.

Three lengths of every story: a guest line for the bar, talking points for staff, and a full vintage report page you can print.

The rosé is from the north block, picked September 20, and it's drier this year.

For you

No forms. Just talk.

Type it, dictate it, or photograph the tech sheet. The assistant interviews you one question at a time until every wine is ready, and every change can be undone.

Dictate between pours

Say what you'd tell a guest. It becomes the page.

Photograph anything

Tech sheets, a menu, a label. Read and filed.

Undo anything

Every change is logged with its reverse.

See what guests ask

Every question, by wine, with the ones to improve.

Live in an afternoon.

Questions owners ask

Will guests really scan a QR code?

They scan when it earns the tap. A code that opens a menu PDF gets ignored; a code that answers "what will I taste?" in one line gets used, and the second scan is at home with the bottle. We show you scans and questions per wine, so you can see for yourself.

What if the AI says something wrong?

Guest answers can only use your notes and the vineyard's computed record. The chat never invents a number: if it doesn't know, it says so. Anything general is labelled general knowledge. Every answer is logged, and you can flag one and fix the fact behind it in one message.

Our staff tell the story. Does this replace them?

No. It backs them up on a busy Saturday, gives new hires the talking points, and keeps telling the story after the visit. Orders by name mean staff greet people, not tickets.

Do we have to change our POS or website?

No. Cuvaio sits alongside what you have. The codes can open any page, ordering and payments are optional, and payouts go to your own Stripe account. Export anything as CSV.

Who owns the data?

You do. Your notes, your guests' questions, your orders. Delete a wine or your winery any time. Guests are anonymous: we never ask them for an account or set tracking cookies.

Does it work outside Michigan?

Anywhere in the United States with full soil detail, and anywhere in the world with weather since 1940 and lower soil detail.

Is it compliant?

Staff still check ID and serve every pour; the app never pours. Payments are handled by Stripe. The chat never encourages drinking more, and health claims are off the table.
