Our Story
Two Founders.
One Shared Mission.
"Extraordinary wine and meaningful conservation belong together."
One founder dedicated years to telling wine stories — traveling the world, interviewing winemakers, and sharing the culture of wine with audiences everywhere.
The other spent decades crafting exceptional wines in Sonoma County, building a reputation for quality, precision, and a deep respect for the land.
Official Conservation Partner
Wine That
Gives Back.
Sharks are apex predators. Remove them and the entire ocean ecosystem collapses. Every bottle of Mako & Vine helps fund the scientists protecting them.
$1 from every bottle sold goes directly to protecting sharks, restoring coral reefs, and funding the next generation of ocean scientists.
