For Corporate Customers

Cépages Co., Ltd. imports wine directly from producers around the world, principally in France, supplying restaurants and liquor retailers and operating the online store “Cépages Wines”.

In recent years we have increasingly received enquiries from companies outside the restaurant and liquor retail trade: bulk arrangements for the Ochugen and Oseibo gift seasons, in-house wine seminars, and staff discounts as an employee benefit, among others. We have therefore established a contact point dedicated to corporate customers. No knowledge of wine is required. Simply tell us your budget and your purpose, and a member of our team holding sommelier certification will propose the most suitable approach.

What we can offer corporate customers

01　Bulk orders for the gift seasons

From Ochugen and Oseibo gifts to anniversary greetings, gifts for business entertaining and hospitality for visitors from overseas, we tailor our proposals to the recipient and the occasion. A vague brief is perfectly fine, whether that is “something presentable for around 10,000 yen” or “for an executive who knows wine well”.

• Selection based on your budget　Tell us your per-bottle budget and the number of bottles, and we will propose several candidates in each price range. We can also grade the selection according to the recipient's seniority or preferences.
• Bulk fulfilment from a recipient list　Send us your recipient list in Excel or a similar format and we will ship individually to destinations throughout Japan. There is no need to prepare consignment notes or enter addresses yourself.
• Japanese gift wrapping (noshi), wrapping and message cards　We provide noshi wrapping paper including the formal heading and your name, gift boxes, and enclosed message cards.
• Contents worthy of a formal gift　Rather than labels lined up in mass-market stores, you can choose wines from producers we import directly. A label the recipient has never seen is all the more memorable.
• Consideration for those who do not drink　We also offer options for non-drinkers and for families, such as the non-alcoholic wine “NOOH”.

02　Wine seminars and in-house wine clubs

Our staff, including JSA-certified sommeliers, will visit your office or venue to plan and host a wine event. As the importer, we can share first-hand accounts of the producers and of the vineyards we have visited ourselves.

• Introductory seminar　Covering the basics of grape varieties and regions, how to taste, how to conduct yourself in a restaurant, and how to choose a gift. Sales teams also use these sessions to build knowledge for client conversations.
• Hands-on programs　Blind tasting competitions and team pairing contests can be arranged as social events or team-building exercises.
• Pairing events　Combined with catering or a restaurant, these events let guests experience how food and wine work together. Also well suited to anniversary parties and year-end gatherings.
• Support for running an in-house wine club　From launch planning to setting monthly themes, arranging the wines for each session and preparing materials for participants, we provide ongoing support. This lightens the load on the organizer and makes the club easier to sustain.
• Invitations to our tastings　We hold tastings of the wines we carry at least twice a year in Tokyo and Osaka. Producers visit Japan for some sessions, and we invite our corporate customers to attend.

The content and the cost vary according to the format (in person or online), the number of participants, the duration and the number of wines. To begin, simply let us know your preferred dates and the approximate size of the group.

03　Employee benefits and in-house sales

• Employee discounts　We can issue a coupon code exclusive to your company, allowing your employees to purchase from our online store at preferential prices.
• In-office sales events　Timed for the year-end or the welcome and farewell party season, we hold a sales event with the bottles on display. Being able to pick them up and choose in person makes this popular even with those unfamiliar with wine.
• Prizes for awards and incentives　For rewarding the achievement of targets or marking long service. We can also source a commemorative bottle, such as a wine from the recipient's birth year.
• Wine for social and company events　We arrange the appropriate number of bottles and glasses for your venue and can advise on temperature management on the day.
• A non-alcoholic option　For occasions that include people who do not drink, who are driving, or who wish to be mindful of their health, we offer non-alcoholic wines so that everyone at the table can share the same experience.
