We work with wineries to define how they present themselves—on the bottle, across their brand system, and in the materials that support their sales and DTC efforts. Our wine projects include brand development, research and discovery, consulting, label design, packaging design, printed collateral, and long-term brand maintenance. The goal is always the same: create work that represents the winery accurately and supports how the wine is positioned and sold.
Our Expertise
Design in the wine industry involves more than aesthetics. Labels have to meet compliance requirements, work within printing limitations, hold up on retail shelves, and communicate quickly in a crowded setting. Packaging choices affect cost, sustainability, and customer expectations.
Because we’ve spent two decades working across the entire production and sales chain—from label approvals to print calibration to tasting room workflows—we’ve learned the ins and outs of winery and production operations. That experience has shaped how we design as much as it shapes the advice we give. Clients often come to us as much for guidance as for design, because we understand how every small decision plays out down the line. Our job is to make sure brands function smoothly in the production and sales environment, which we help accomplish through our knowledgeable approach to our design projects.
Our Approach to Wine Design
We tend to look at wine branding as a practical system:
- A label has limited space and must communicate essential information clearly.
- A brand system needs consistent rules so it can scale as the winery grows.
- Packaging decisions should balance cost, materials, and perceived value.
We focus on clarity and function, and we avoid chasing stylistic trends. Good design should hold up over time and make the winery’s job easier, not harder.
Why Wine Matters to Us
Wine carries history, place, and personal intention. Translating that into design is not always simple, but it’s the part we care about most. We try to understand what makes each winery distinct and express that in a way customers can immediately recognize.
