Thoughtful Wines Inspired by Extraordinary Humans

Human, Vine, Nature. 

Human Cellars was created after more than 20 years of wandering the earth. Firstly working with underprivileged farmers in Africa, Asia and Latin American and later in wineries in France and Germany, the founders crossed paths with exceptional people who overcame adversity through uncompromising perseverance and passion.

We were, and still are, heavily influenced by the profound experiences with these individuals and strive to honor them in every step of winemaking- from vine to bottle. Each wine produced by Human Cellars is dedicated to these little-known humans who have changed the world for the better and is an attempt to reflect their extraordinary personality and achievements.

We make wine based on one of the key principles of biodynamics- that human, vineyard and nature have equal influence on each other and cannot be separated into traditional singular roles. This philosophy extends into the cellar- where human, yeast and grape are interconnected to create a wine that is a symbiosis of the three “personalities”. To express the beauty of all these inseparable relationships, Human Cellars takes a minimalistic and holistic approach in both vineyard and winemaking practices.
