Our Story

Encountr was founded on a simple principle: that a great bottle of wine is only the beginning.


Wine has a rare capacity to open doors that little else can, and it was this belief that led us to build something around it.

Our mission is to bring remarkable people together through wine, and to carry that experience further than a bottle alone ever could.

Every experience we curate is chosen as we would choose for our own table; with genuine knowledge of the makers and thought-leaders behind the wine, the region, the producer and the stories inspired by each and every sip. We have never believed in filling a calendar for its own sake, but rather in creating moments worthy of being remembered long after the glass is empty.
This is also why we built Encountr around community, rather than experiences and bottles alone.

Membership is not simply a matter of preferential pricing: it is a way of belonging to something considered and enduring.

It offers priority access to experiences that are rarely made public, invitations to gatherings shaped by shared curiosity rather than scale, and, for those who wish for something entirely their own, the opportunity to commission an experience yet to exist; because some of the finest experiences must first be imagined before they can be booked. We remain deeply grateful to the winemakers, chefs, importers and partners who entrust us to tell their stories with the care they deserve.


To every guest who has joined us at the table, thank you. Wine is where it starts. We hope you will stay for everything that follows.
