Hey, we’re kara & tris!
Fellow wine nerds and founders of Whobody Wines!
Partners in life and in wine, we met and fell in love while working as harvest interns (naturally). We’ve been traveling and making wine together since…
Tristan, (Cape Town born and raised) went to school for Viticulture and Oenology even though he strictly drank brandy and coke. He is a science lover and nerd at heart, and we are thankful his taste buds have evolved.
Kara (Minnesota Native) was originally a photographer and graphic designer, but serendipitously fell into a job working on a vineyard in Australia. That snowballed into her love for wine and a career in the industry.
We combined our passions, talents, and hands to create our own label, Whobody Wines.
The foundation of the brand is built on grit and a shared love for intentional products with a memorable story.
For us, our favorite wines are always the ones with the label we can still recall, the brand’s backstory we connected with, the winemaking techniques that were different and experimental, and the beautiful setting of which is was shared.
Those are the wines we are creating. The ones you’ll remember. The ones you’ll want to drink again and share (or maybe not share).
We’re creating the wine we want to drink, and we think you’ll want to too.
