New York office
New York needs little introduction as a global financial hub and the epicentre of a thriving cultural art and entertainment scene in America. We’ve been working with our US client base for many years, but in 2021 we finally made the move across the pond and opened our fifth international office. Looking ahead, we believe that North Americas can quickly become our largest private client market as the region is investment-forward and has a considerable wine tradition.
Key people
Our team, drawn from diverse backgrounds in wine, finance, technology, and operations, works together to drive Cult Wines’ success. Each member brings unique expertise and a shared passion for delivering exceptional results and experiences year after year.
