Our Story
Founded in 2023 by Gloria Atherstone, Vintner & Vine was born from a passion for the unique stories and exceptional quality found in California’s small-batch wineries. We noticed a gap in the wine industry—a disconnect between curious wine lovers and the hidden gems of the small-batch world. Our mission is simple yet profound: Bringing small batch wineries to the masses.
We are not just a directory; we are a bridge to discovery. At Vintner & Vine, we pride ourselves on showcasing wineries that produce fewer than 10,000 cases annually. Our platform is a celebration of the craft, dedication, and individual stories that make each winery special.

Through engaging features and real-time reviews, we detail the journeys of winemakers and their families, emphasizing the nuances that set each winery apart.
