Maker Wine

The holidays can feel especially fragmented for distributed teams. Different time zones, different cities, and a calendar that fills up faster than any of us expect. At Maker, we’ve seen that a shared experience (and a really good glass of wine) can bring people together, even from afar 🍷✨ Over the past few years, our virtual tastings and corporate gifting programs have become a favorite way for teams to reconnect. We ship award-winning wines directly to employees’ doors 📦 and host guided tastings that feel more like a conversation than a presentation. What makes our tastings so fun and memorable: • Premium wines made by women and underrepresented winemakers 🌟 • A story behind every can, shared by the people who craft them 📖 • Easy logistics for teams of any size 🙌 • A thoughtful, sustainable gift employees actually want 🌱 Whether you’re planning a holiday social, a year-end celebration, or a moment of connection for a distributed team, we’d love to help you create something memorable. If you’re thinking ahead for December, now’s the ideal time to get on the cal!

Two years ago, we dreamed of seeing Maker on Whole Foods shelves. Today… it’s real. 🤯 📣 Maker just hit the shelves at Whole Foods Market across California, Colorado, Texas, and Nevada! 🌱🍷 As a tiny, women-led team, this milestone means the world. Our mission is to share premium wines from best-in-class indie producers with more people who care about where their wine comes from. We’re especially proud to be launching with Janell Dusi’s Red Blend. It's a silky, fruit-forward wine from Paso Robles, crafted with minimal intervention and no added sugar. Janell is a fourth-generation winemaker with deep Central Coast roots — exactly the kind of Maker we’re honored to represent. Cheers to this milestone, to Janell, and to all the incredible winemakers we get to shine a light on. 🥂 Spot Maker at your local Whole Foods? Please tag us, we’d love to see it! 👀 #womeninwine #retail #wine

✈️ Maker Wine is landing at IFSA 2025 ✈️ We're on cloud nine to be pouring at the AMI Group Bar at the International Flight Services Association (IFSA) Global Expo on September 10th in Long Beach! This event brings together airline leadership, airport executives, and innovators to showcase the future of the inflight experience! And we know a thing or two about serving wine at 30,000 feet. ☁️🍷 With 90+ point ratings and more gold medals than frequent flyer miles, this is one happy hour you won’t want to miss. Thanks AMI Group for having us! Kendra Casey Sarah Janine Matthew Matthew Reece Jeremy Parissa Delia Zoe Janell Nicole Lise

📣 We’ve just been featured in Wine Spectator! Wine Spectator just named their top canned wines for 2025—and Maker Wine is proud to be one of the standouts helping redefine what premium wine looks like. Our commitment to quality and highlighting craft producers in the canned wine space is resonating with a new generation of wine drinkers. As our co-founder Sarah Hoffman shared, “We're reaching audiences that we're being told aren't purchasing wine.” The future of wine is inclusive, innovative, and yes—sometimes comes in a can. Thank you to Aaron Romano and Wine Spectator for the recognition, and to our Can Fam of wine lovers and trailblazing producers and partners for helping us lead the way!

✨Biiiiig milestone alert!✨ Maker Wine is now available at Safeway and Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions stores! 🛒🍷 We’re especially proud to be launching in our home state of California! We started Maker to elevate the voices of diverse producers, and this milestone is helping us bring the names and stories of these amazing makers to more people. Special shoutout to Janell Dusi, one of the producers whose bold, silky Red Blend is hitting store shelves near you. She’s a 5th generation Zin farmer and powerhouse Paso Robles producer making waves in a male dominated industry.
