ABOUT THE WINE WOMAN
here for the wine.
here for the people.
mostly both.
Hello!
The Wine Woman is driven by curiosity, good wine, and the kind of conversations that happen with a glass in hand and people you just met.
THE STORY
a detour that became the best
decision of my life
I'm Jules — originally from Chicago, and in 2020 I packed my bags for Portugal. Life had other plans. COVID changed everything, and I ended up in Croatia instead.
What was supposed to be a detour became home. The more locals I met, the more wineries I visited — small producers, passionate families, incredible stories. They welcomed me like one of their own.
“Somewhere between tastings and long vineyard conversations, The Wine Woman was born.”
After five years of falling in love with this country — its people, its culture, its wine — I decided to build something that lets others experience Croatia the way I did. Not as a tourist. As a local.
Wine is just the excuse.
Community is the point
What People Are Saying
“We took a tour with the Wine Woman to Pelješac and it was one of the best wine-related experiences of my life. She knew all the people there, everything was planned and organised by the minute, and her team was professional and attentive. Our focus was only enjoy, all the rest was taken care of. Wish I could repeat it a thousand times!
Keep it up, Jules.”
