Domaine of the Bee

About Us

We make heartbreakingly small batches of beautifully bold wine in the wild South of France.
It’s not in the shops*. And most of it goes to our Wine Club Members.

Our Purpose:

"Increasing happiness - by using wine to create moments of connection".

Between People and Place.
Between People and Time.
Between People and other People.
Between soil microbes and taste buds.
Between the vine and the glass.

Our Mission:

Bringing wine to life by connecting people to our world through immersion, flavour and fun.

Our Manifesto:

  • We exist to make you happy by making delicious wine.
  • We connect you to where it is grown and how it is made.
  • We try to do this in a way that makes it interesting, and sometimes, we flatter ourselves, entertaining. And maybe even, in our best moments, amusing.
  • We may like to joke around and make poor bee-related puns, but we are deadly serious about making the best wine that we can.
  • And wine itself is a vehicle for happiness. It loosens the tongue, and sometimes the clothing. (You can’t drink wine properly while wearing a tie)
  • Wine is the portal to a good conversation. The catalyst to form a new relationship. Wine lubricates the wheels of social discourse.
  • A bottle of wine is made to be shared. Wine brings people together. And many of the best ideas crystallise over a great bottle shared with a good friend.
  • We are imperfectly, relentlessly human. Perfection isn’t our goal – connection is.
  • Everyone’s welcome. No-one’s left behind.

(* our wine is actually in SOME shops. but only very special ones like The Sampler, and The Cambridge Cheese Company. For a full list, see here)
