We had the good fortune of connecting with Caitlin Turner and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Caitlin, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My decision to embark on the journey of starting your own business in the luxury mobile bartending space embodies a thoughtful and comprehensive approach, driven by a multitude of motivations. Rooted in my passion for bartending, particularly within the realm of luxury services, The Pour Tour Mobile Wine and Cocktail Bar, signifies a deep connection to the craft and a desire to bring it to new heights of sophistication and exclusivity. Alongside this passion, my pursuit of work/life balance underscores a commitment to prioritizing personal well-being and family time, even as I engage in meaningful work. Furthermore, my aspiration for creative freedom within the luxury mobile bartending space speaks to my innate drive for innovation and the desire to craft unique experiences that leave a lasting impression. Engaging in entrepreneurship not only offers opportunities for my personal growth and professional development but also holds the promise of building a legacy for my family. Overall, my thought process reflects a holistic and purposeful approach to entrepreneurship, characterized by passion, ambition, and a commitment to both personal and professional fulfillment.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
What sets The Pour Tour Mobile Wine and Cocktail Bar apart from others in the industry is our unwavering commitment to excellence in every detail. From the meticulously curated and crafted cocktails to our luxury services and aesthetics, we strive to provide an unparalleled experience for our customers. Whether it’s the impeccable service, the elegant aesthetics of our mobile bar, or the personalized touch we bring to each event, we go above and beyond to create memorable moments for our clients. At The Pour Tour, we don’t just serve drinks – we craft unforgettable experiences that leave a lasting impression. It’s this commitment to excellence that truly sets us apart in the industry.

We’re most excited about the opportunity to elevate The Pour Tour and become an integral part of everyone’s cherished moments and milestones. Whether it’s adding a touch of sophistication to a kid’s birthday party, bringing an extra spark to a wedding celebration, or adding a sense of glamour to a corporate event or Girls Night Out, we’re ready to be there for it all!
Being able to contribute to these special occasions is what drives our purpose and fuels our passion on a daily basis. There’s something truly magical about being a part of people’s joyous moments and creating unforgettable memories together. From the excitement of a brand launch to the intimacy of a family gathering, we’re dedicated to enhancing every experience and making it truly remarkable.

It certainly hasn’t been an easy road to get to where I am today in my business journey. There were countless challenges along the way, but looking back, every obstacle was worth it, and I wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything in the world!
Taking the leap of faith to pursue my ‘passion project’ full-time was a decision filled with uncertainty, but it’s one that I’m incredibly grateful for. Despite the inevitable ups and downs, the joyous moments always outweighed the tough times.

Being an entrepreneur can be daunting, but I’ve learned that having unwavering belief in yourself, coupled with the support and encouragement of loved ones, can make all the difference. It’s about having that inner conviction that success is not only possible but inevitable. I firmly believe that with the right mindset and a strong support system, you can overcome any challenge that comes your way. While the journey may be scary at times, the rewards of chasing your dreams and building something you’re truly passionate about are immeasurable.

I want the world to know that our brand was born from a place of pure love and unwavering dedication. At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to elevating every event we touch, from the moment we arrive to the moment we bid farewell. Our number one priority is ensuring that every aspect of your experience with us is nothing short of exceptional. We take the time to listen to our clients’ needs, ensuring that every cocktail we craft is tailored specifically to your event. From unique flavor combinations to stunning aesthetics, including our bars and garnishments, we pay attention to every detail to create an unforgettable atmosphere.

But beyond just the drinks and the decor, what truly sets us apart is our dedication to delivering an amazing client experience. We believe in celebrating life in all its aspects, and we’re honored to be a part of your special moments. At our core, we’re more than just a mobile wine and cocktail bar – we’re a team of passionate individuals dedicated to celebrating life with you, one event at a time!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love this question! If you are in the mood for fine dining, I would definitely check out Georgia James, Trulucks, and Steak 48! My favorite bars to visit are Bandista( a speakeasy bar hidden in the Four Seasons Hotel), Bloom and Bee ( restaurant inside of the Post Oak Hotel) and The Little Hen for brunch and cocktails! I would visit City Centre and the River Oaks District for food and shopping and catch a movie at the rooftop Cinema Club Uptown in addition to take a walk at Discovery Green and Hermann Park.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to dedicate my shoutout to my husband, Wayne, for his exceptional love, encouragement, and support! His unwavering dedication to my well-being, his constant words of encouragement, and his endless support in every endeavor I pursue have really helped me bring The Pour Tour to life!

I also want to take a moment to recognize a very dear friend of mine, Brandy Foreman. At a crucial point in my life, when I was consumed by the demands of corporate America and neglecting my own passions, Brandy urged me to pursue what truly mattered to me. Her words planted the seed of my ‘passion project,’ The Pour Tour, which has since blossomed into a source of joy and purpose in my life!
