Sean Haarberg
VIP Manager
Sean’s love of wine began when his father let him have a small glass of wine with his Thanksgiving dinner when he was about sixteen years old. He and his father later opened a pizzeria together when Sean was 20 years old where Sean maintained a pretty decent wine list for a local pizza joint. He operated his restaurant for fourteen years, but before selling the business, he put himself through Sommelier school within the WSET program and earned a Level III Advanced Sommelier Certificate. Knowing he wanted his next chapter in life to be in the wine biz, he found a new career at Trinitas Cellar where he could express his passion for fine wine from Napa to our customers and VIP’s!
