Every great place has a story. Every great wine has a story.

The story uncovered.

Every great wine has a story worth telling.

Behind exceptional wine there is almost always something more compelling than what is in the bottle.

Estate & Vintage seeks out those stories and brings them to life.

We work with independent wineries and producers to uncover what makes them distinctive — capturing the people, places, heritage and philosophy behind the wine and translating them into compelling stories and experiences.

From producer profiles and editorial features to private tastings, wine-led gatherings and destination experiences, we help exceptional wineries connect with people who value provenance, craftsmanship and authenticity.

We don’t simply tell people what the wine tastes like.

We give them a reason to care about where it came from.

From the vineyard to the experience.

Our work can begin with a conversation with the winemaker and end with a private dinner, a property experience or a journey to the vineyard itself.

We create:
Producer Stories
The people, places and philosophies behind exceptional wines.

Wine Experiences
Private tastings, dinners and gatherings designed around the character of the producer.

Destination Stories
The vineyards, estates, landscapes and communities that give a wine its identity.

Private Experiences
Bespoke encounters for property owners, developers, hospitality groups, brands and private clients.

The objective is always the same:

To turn a bottle of wine into a story people want to discover.

And a story into an experience they want to remember.

We use wine to create the occasion. The occasion creates the relationship. The relationship creates the commercial opportunity.

We create private, wine-led experiences for luxury brands looking to attract, engage and build relationships with high-value clients.

From exceptional properties and luxury automobiles to hospitality, design, travel and private client events, we bring together exceptional wine, carefully selected guests and thoughtfully curated experiences.

We don’t organise wine tastings.
We create reasons for the right people to come together.

We create private, wine-led experiences that help luxury brands attract, engage and build relationships with high-value clients.

Wine is our catalyst.

It gives people a reason to come together, creates an atmosphere for conversation and turns a commercial setting into something personal, memorable and worth experiencing.

Whether it’s a private property viewing, a luxury automotive launch, an intimate gathering for clients, a new development, a design showcase or an exclusive hospitality experience, we curate the wine and the experience around your brand, your audience and your objective.

Attract

Give the right people a reason to walk through the door.

We create distinctive wine experiences that generate interest and bring carefully selected guests into environments where your brand can be experienced rather than simply presented.

Engage

Turn an introduction into a genuine connection.

Exceptional wine naturally encourages conversation. We use that setting to create relaxed, intimate experiences where guests can connect with your people, your product and your story without the pressure of a conventional sales environment.

Build relationships

The most valuable clients rarely respond to a hard sell.

They respond to access, attention and experiences that feel considered and authentic.

Our experiences give brands an opportunity to spend meaningful time with existing clients, prospective clients and influential networks in an environment designed for conversation.

Create opportunity

The experience may begin with wine, but its purpose extends beyond the glass.

A property can be experienced. A car can be driven. A design can be discussed. A destination can be imagined. A relationship can begin.

We bring the wine, the expertise and the curation together to create the setting in which those opportunities can happen naturally.

Wine is the catalyst. THE Relationship IS the opportunity.

Wine has a remarkable ability to bring people together.

It creates conversation. It creates curiosity. It gives people a reason to stay, connect and experience something beyond the ordinary.

We use wine as the catalyst for carefully curated experiences — bringing exceptional wines, distinctive producers and compelling stories into the worlds of property, hospitality, design, travel, automotive, art and luxury.

Wine has a rare ability to bring people together. It creates conversation, slows the pace, encourages discovery and gives guests something memorable to share. For corporate hospitality, that makes wine far more than a drink — it is a natural medium for connection, relationship-building and meaningful experiences.
