About Us

The development of the first wine suitcase goes back to 2014 when a serial entrepreneur and visionary, Barry Wax, came up with the concept of manufacturing unique specialty luggage with removable inserts that could accommodate both wine bottles and personal effects. His goal was to make the best wine travel product in the industry and he created the video below to prove what he accomplished. We are proud that that video is as true and factual today as it was in 2014. and we continue to be the number one luxury brand for luggage with wine and spirits.

In paying tribute to the Wax legacy, here is a link to a video of the early days of VinGardeValise and its enthusiastic wine travelers whose lives were made better by the products the company created:

Today, VinGardeValise is a family owned business with a mission: to solve the single biggest problem faced by wine country travelers as they follow their dreams of visiting their favorite wineries around the world. How to bring their favorite wines back home with them safely and securely on an airplane so they can be enjoyed while reliving memories with every sip. And so was borne the idea for the VinGardeValise.

Eleven years later, the company’s mission has grown to include becoming the global leader in the personal transportation of all alcoholic beverages, including wine, spirits, and beer. Behind VinGardeValise is a team of wine and spirit enthusiasts, globetrotters, and creative thinkers living and breathing in the wine industry, right in the heart of Napa Valley.

Today, our products can be found in more than 500 hundred winery tasting rooms, distilleries, and breweries, and at luxury retailers, major department and specialty stores, select airport duty free shops as well as on our own website and Amazon store. As our business has grown, so has our presence in multiple international markets, with local operations now in Canada, Europe, the UK, Japan, Argentina, and Brazil. And of course, our products are highly sought after by all sizes of companies for their gifting and incentive programs. So, whether you're a wine lover returning home from wine country or planning the next travel destination to bring along your favorite wines or spirits with you, or if you're the wine and spirits industry professional looking to elevate your sales presentation, you can trust VinGardeValise products to protect your bottles... without “spilling a drop."
