Welcome to the

Founders Circle

A community shaping global wine. 

Graperoutes is building the world's first platform dedicated to understanding, connecting, and empowering the global wine industry. 

The Founders Circle is a long-term, invitation-led community of winemakers andmerchants who support and shape Graperoutes through every phase of its evolution- before and after public release. 

This is not a launch programme.
It is an ongoing partnership.

Graperoutes exists to bring clarity, visibility, and intelligence into one shared platform.

Some regions or grape varieties are under-represented. 

Markets are opaque.

Information is fragmented.

The wine industry is global, complex, and constantly changing.
