Our Approach
Making the most with what you've got.
You're already running a winery, and the day-to-day has a way of filling up your schedule.
It's a challenge to assess your operations while you are in the thick of it.
That's where the Leyack Group can help.
With a fresh set of eyes, a diagnostic mindset and a specialized toolbox.
The right tool can make any task more efficient, faster, more effective.
Our Story
Wine is agricultural, artisanal and meritocratic -find the right vineyard, work smart and hard, and you can make great wine.
Yet, in this crowded market, dominated by large wineries and consolidated distributors, it's not easy for small wineries. They are swimming with sharks.
We have always been rooting for the underdog. We are here to help you find that piece of the market you will claim as your own, because you've earned it.

Gaston Leyack
Principal
Gaston’s background in hotel and restaurant management exposed him to wine as a buyer in native Buenos Aires. Following that passion, he moved to California to immerse in the wine industry. His next roles provided different perspectives: cellar hand, tasting room sales, DTC manager, imports, exports, regional sales, brand management and general management of a small winery.
