Who We Are
Handshake Wines partners with wine producers who offer classic expressions of the soul of their regions - the soils and microclimates that make their terroirs special.
Handshake Wines was born from a simple idea: that exceptional wines deserve exceptional homes. After years immersed in the wine world—tasting, traveling, and building relationships with passionate producers—we saw a gap between small, terroir-driven wineries and the boutique retailers who crave unique, story-rich bottles. These were wines being overlooked by traditional distributors, yet they had soul, intention, and a sense of place.
We started Handshake Wines to bridge that gap. What began as a few personal introductions between friends and winemakers has grown into a curated network built on trust, transparency, and a shared love for the craft. Our name says it all: every partnership begins with a handshake—and every bottle we place carries the weight of that relationship.
