Sebastian is one of the longest serving members of the Blue Grouse team. Having started as an installation contractor, Sebastian’s array of talents were quickly visible and he became the first full-time installer for Blue Grouse Wine Cellars. As the business has grown and evolved Sebastian now manages the installation team and oversees the large majority of wine cellar installations.

Given Sebastian’s strong technical knowledge and construction experience he may be the first person you meet when he comes to your home to survey the space you wish to convert to a wine cellar. Due to his diverse skill set, he may also produce the drawings for your project.

Sebastian takes great pride in a cellar well-built and a satisfied customer. Quality assurance is always at the forefront of his mind.

In his free time, Sebastian enjoys spending time with his family, shopping for treasures at Lee Valley and eating good food.

Gaylena has a background in interior design, with a certificate from the British Columbia Institute of Technology.

When not helping clients design the wine cellar of their dreams, she’s designing her own fabulous apartment, with a particular affinity for minimalism and clean, modern lines.

In Gaylena’s spare time she enjoys a nice glass of red wine and long walks on the Seawall with her golden retriever, Bentley (not at the same time!).

TK is never idle for long and is a bit of a Where’s Waldo in the Blue Grouse shop with his various responsibilities! Despite his varied day-to-day activities TK is very reliable and available to his colleagues to lend a hand.

In TK’s free time he enjoys gaming, cooking, designing on his 3D printer and hanging out with his friends and family.
