Vino de Franciscus was born from a passion for wine and a desire for exclusivity. Founder Frank van Gool, known as a visionary entrepreneur, decided to express his love for wine after 25 years in the business world. What began with his own private collection of exceptional wines grew into a unique wine concept. This private collection—built through years of searching for hidden gems and premium wines—still forms the heart of our range. The name Vino de Franciscus literally means "wine from Frank" (Franciscus is the Latin name for Frank) and underscores the personal character of our brand.

Our story is about more than just selling wine; it's about craftsmanship, authenticity, and sharing a unique experience. We work directly with small-scale vineyards and renowned winemakers who understand their craft. Every wine in our selection has been carefully tasted and assessed, ensuring the quality you expect. We believe in the story behind the bottle: the land where the grapes grew, the hands that made the wine, and the tradition that lives on within.

We serve both passionate private wine lovers and discerning business customers in the hospitality industry. Everyone in our clientele receives the same personal attention and expert advice. Thanks to our exclusive members-only website, we can serve a select group of customers in a unique way you won't find at traditional wine retailers. Discretion, trust, and service are paramount – we know our customers, understand their tastes, and are happy to advise them on every choice.
