Great wine works wonders.

Our story

In 2006 we noticed a gap in the Finnish wine market. We started planning and dreamed of a company that should be brand oriented, structurally organized and focused on consumer satisfaction and marketing innovation. Then we took our 50 years of collective experience on the industry and formed Winestate.

In short period of time, we have become the largest company purely focusing on wine and a leading importer in the Finnish market. With a turnover of over €39 million, our privately held, employee-owned company has proven success in:
