Our History: Working alongside Independent Winemakers Since 2014

With Les Grappes Pro, we support professionals in the hospitality, restaurant, and distribution sectors in designing their product ranges. Redesigning our website means enhancing support and access to over 400 wine references.

By consolidating our selections onto a single platform, our aim is to build a more transparent, comprehensive, and coherent offering. Today, we feature over 1,400 references, ranging from independent winemakers to our exclusive allocations,

Following the acquisition of Plugwine in 2023, 2025 marks a new phase with its evolution into Les Grappes Pro Direct Vigneron.
Restaurants, wine merchants, and HORECA professionals now benefit from a single, dedicated platform designed to better guide them through the offerings, featuring a more transparent pricing structure and direct access to a wide selection of cuvées from independent winemakers.

In 2025, Les Grappes celebrated its 10th anniversary!
Ten years dedicated to championing independent winemakers, showcasing estates across France, and gradually building an alternative way to purchase wine online. Since its inception, much has evolved, but the core desire remains the same: to connect those who craft wine with those who enjoy it.

Over the years, Les Grappes has also developed a business dedicated to wine professionals with the creation of Les Grappes Services.
The core idea has remained consistent since the beginning: to simplify the daily operations of winemakers and enhance the distribution of their wines. Today, we support hundreds of estates with their distribution, logistics, and digital development, both in France and internationally.

Les Grappes marks its third acquisition within a year and continues its expansion with the takeover of Vins Étonnants, broadening its B2C offering to achieve its ambition: to become the leading distributor for independent winemakers, with Les Grappes now referencing 2,000 of them!

Les Grappes strengthens its B2C e-commerce activity and its positioning around environmentally and consumer-friendly wines with the acquisition of Petites Caves!

One of the leaders in online sales of organic and natural wines for individual consumers!

We launched a collective aimed at enabling grower-winemakers to be listed with major retailers they typically cannot access. Our objective? To allow consumers to associate a face with the bottle they purchase in supermarkets.

Through this collective, we continue this mission with the goal of placing grower-winemakers at the forefront of wine aisles in mass retail.

Les Grappes formalizes the acquisition of Plugwine, positioning itself as the leader in services for winemakers! This enables the provision of a comprehensive offering for the wine industry, supported by a team of 60 employees and over 1,700 partner winemakers.

Last September, we raised 4 million euros from Demeter IM, a firm specializing in investments for ecological transition. A record achievement for the team!

We completed our first carbon footprint assessment! In collaboration with Greenly, we are now certified. This marks a second victory following our B-Corp certification, further demonstrating our commitment to short supply chains and responsible winemakers.

Italy, a cornerstone of European gastronomy, becomes the first country to import wines from our grower-winemakers. To date, over 1,500 professionals in more than 40 countries already trust us. Our Export team continues to expand year after year!

The health crisis had severe consequences, not only from a health perspective but also economically. To support our winemakers, we launched the 'I Love My Winemaker' initiative, mobilizing the public to raise awareness of the industry's challenges and providing free e-commerce stores.

Following months of auditing to meet the demanding B-Corp questionnaire requirements, Les Grappes became the 55th French company to obtain this American certification, which recognizes businesses that benefit both the world and everyone.

Approached by the publishing house Milan (Bayard Group) to write a book about wine, we chose to dedicate a book to our winemakers: a tour of France featuring 80 winemakers, highlighting these 80 men and women with extraordinary journeys.

In January 2017, Les Grappes launched Les Grappes Pro, its service dedicated to professionals in the hospitality and retail sectors.

Les Grappes acquired Vinocasting, a company that, after raising 300k euros, developed an algorithm to determine customers' oenological profiles.

Les Grappes has acquired Le Vin de France, a website that sells wine directly from winemakers. With this acquisition, more than 100 winemakers and 10,000 members are joining the Les Grappes community.

Les Grappes now manages the Wine section of LeParisien.fr. The Les Grappes blog for Le Parisien is currently ranked as the 4th largest wine blog.

This fundraising round, secured from private investors and representing the largest seed funding in the wine sector, enables us to structure our project. Quentin and Nicolas have joined the team.

Our website lesgrappes.com officially launched on September 25, 2014, featuring 20 listed winemakers. This provided an opportunity to host a successful launch event with our initial winemakers and first clients at our future premises in incubator 27.
