Home - Charlie Arturaola

We just met in Boca Raton, Florida....Charlie was the Wine Director for the resort! When somebody is as knowledgeable about wine as Charlie is, you give them free reign to choose and construct a world class wine list...and he did. Charlie has a wonderful, big personality which is so important in the restaurant biz. His style was perfect for the resort and internally he was a positive team player....we adore him!!!!

Charlie Arturaola is a highly experienced wine appraiser, whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Charlie has been a resource to many insurance companies, such as Chubb, Chartis and Fireman’s Fund, and has been instrumental in the managing of wine claims ranging from $50,000 to $2,200,000...

We love Charlie! He's authentic, charismatic and has a strong passion for wine. Charlie's love for every aspect of the wine business is apparent and contagious. He has a wonderful personality and is a wealth of knowledge. He's traveled the world and spreads his enthusiasm and interests wherever he goes. When we met him he was the Wine Director at a resort... and now he is a world known movie star.

Michael & Stephanie Honig

I have known Charlie Arturaola for over 20 years. He is one of the most knowledgeable wine experts and a most engaging speaker in the wine business. He can effectively reach literally everyone in the wine world because of the above and his rare ability to speak over 5 languages. He is one of the treasures of the wine business!

Philip di Belardino, Banfi Vintners & Excelsior Wines

Charlie Arturaola's life is wine. His passion is wine. Even his dreams are about wine. His unique ability is to... share it effectively with everyone from the wine novice to the jaded industry expert. After a tasting or a class with Charlie, the novice is totally inspired and the expert once again remembers why they fell for wine in the first place. And that's a damn impressive feat!
