Our story begins in 2007 when our founders, Tom and Phil Gearing, launched Cult Wines with a vision to transform fine wine into a credible asset class. Ever since, we’ve been restless in our pursuit to revolutionise the way fine wine investment works, by making it simple, enjoyable and stress free.
