About us

Great wine at a reasonable price

VinoGrande is a wine importer founded in 2022. We bring wines to Estonia mainly from family producers across Europe – wines that offer more than you'd expect for their price.

Our range is carefully curated. Every wine passes a sommelier's critical tasting, and only wines whose price-to-quality ratio we are willing to stand behind make the cut. For restaurants, hotels and companies we also offer wine list consulting, staff training and corporate gifts – see For business.
