Sonoma

edit

Sonoma is a Brazil’s first curated sales site for wine and gastronomy, blending high-caliber content with product selections curated by top industry professionals.

Due to high import taxes and high margins by distributors and traditional retailers, wine and gourmet in Brazil is usually very expensive and selection is limited. Additionally, there are few informational resources for the enthusiastic new wine consumer, who represents the growth in the market.

Sourcing directly from a vast network of small importers, vineyards and artisanal producers, Sonoma highlights weekly selections oftentimes available in extremely limited quantities, with prices up to 60% below the market. Meanwhile, Sonoma’s team of journalists and some of the top wine professionals in Brazil break down complexities and address wine and gastronomy in a refreshing manner that bucks the formality that is convention in Brazil.
