Wine
Yarra Valley, Australia
A trip to Australian wine country became the inspiration for an adventure in entrepreneurship! In 2018, I co-founded natural wine subscription, Brave Bottles alongside my sister, Elaina, and brother-in-law, Ben. Together, we started a business that enabled us to bring our shared love of natural wines straight to the doors of our customers via monthly subscription boxes with curated selections of highly prized, low intervention bottles.
Building a business from scratch was both challenging and rewarding, with many highs and lows, but it was always a consistent journey of growth. We learned the ins and outs of operations, branding, ecommerce, marketing, customer service, and raised many a glass of tasty vino.
With ideas for a new business venture already on the horizon, we mutually decided we were ready to move on and we shipped our last collection in 2022 but Iām so grateful for the experience. Along the way, I got to dive deep into the world of natural wine, forged wonderful relationships with customers and vendors, learned many lessons, made some mistakes, and created something I am still very proud of.
