We launched .app during the pandemic out of passion for the food and wine space, with an intent to build a community for people that loved great hospitality experiences - starting first with in-home food and wine experiences, a wine pairing tool and accessible wine education. Our first memberships came out in late 2021 alongside and from there, our vision came together. In mid 2022, we acquired and relaunched the .app, which unlocks same day and exclusive reservations at the country's top restaurants (including many destinations), curating the very best of OpenTable, Resy, Tock and others into 1 platform for the appreciative guest, saving time we all spend searching for great spots, app hopping, or struggling to get a same-day reso. Our goal was, and is ultimately to be a trusted source for great hospitality.
Today, Somm begins its transition to DINR's Membership App - SOMM x DINR. With experiential offerings, a wine club, and a non-alc club, we invite you to get the , get the , and Become a Member. Check out our to learn more about Memberships or DM us if you want to learn more.
