Why Wine for the People?

Wine For the People is an invitation to experience a wine journey without pretense. It’s about connecting with the community that surrounds every step of the process. We’re passionate about bringing people together over a shared love of good wine. From grape to glass, we invite you to our table to experience the journey.

“People often feel overwhelmed or intimidated by wine. Making wine more accessible in any setting is really important to me. Winemaking is a fascinating process, one I find endlessly interesting. We can talk about the details of origin, history, and climate, but enjoying wine can also be as simple as ‘Do you like it? Great!’. You don’t have to study it or know a secret language to have a full experience.” – Rae Wilson
