About Estes Public Relations | Food, Spirits & Hospitality PR Experts

Crafted, Spirited, Connected | Our Philosophy

Estes Public Relations works where others play — supporting clients across the food, spirits, and hospitality industries. As PR experts, we deliver results through restaurant openings, product launches, media tours, social media, crisis communications, and event coordination.

Who We Serve | Food, Spirits, Restaurants, Travel & Lifestyle Brands

You have a story to tell. We want to tell it. We craft messages as individual as you are, and we make sure they get to the right people. Here, “PR” stands for “public relations” as much as it does “personal relationships.” We amplify your voice and make sure it gets heard.

Founded in 2004, each Estes PR team member contributes unique assets and experience — we have print and television journalists; certified sommeliers and bourbon stewards; and digital marketers and social media experts. With offices in Louisville, Pittsburgh, and Amelia Island, Florida and clients in multiple markets across the country, we’re here for you.
