Kevin Dong's Company Details
Our ethos has always been to share our love of wine with others. We want to demystify the world of wine and bring others on the journey, having lots of fun on the way.Handpicked Wines founder and managing director William Dong admits that he came into the wine industry knowing little about the challenges ahead; he just loved wine and wanted to make wines that people would want to share together. It didn't take long to realise that to make truly great wines that express the best of their region he would need to invest in special vineyards and passionate people.Capella Vineyard on the Mornington Peninsula was the first vineyard purchased, in 2013. It remains Handpicked's spiritual home and where our winemakers are based. We now own six vineyards in Mornington, Yarra Valley, Tasmania and Barossa Valley. In other regions in Australia and around the world we work with exceptional growers who have become part of the Handpicked family over many years.We've come a long way - our team has grown, we make more wines in more regions, we've won a lot of trophies, received great reviews, thrown some epic parties and begun an exciting journey into organics - but our purpose to share the love of wine has not wavered. And as William would say, "The real journey starts today."OUR TEAM We are a diverse team spread across our wine regions, vineyards, urban cellar door and head office in Sydney. We share a joint passion for wine education, travel, non-conformity, and a strong work hard, play hard mentality.
