Company Overview

PRP Wine International is the pioneer of in home wine samplings. We have been delivering the taste and feel of the vineyards to our client’s doorsteps since 1989. Our goal is to entertain and educate our clients on the world of fine wines.

The acronym in our name represents our three main suppliers Pieroth, Romanet and Piccolomini.

The way we introduce our wines to our clients is through wine tastings in private and intimate environments where the wines being poured and the information shared is based 100% on the needs of the particular group or individual wine drinkers.

PRP Wine International is a market innovator of wine gifts for business through personalized labels and etched wine accessories.  We are also involved in sharing our concept through Charity Fund Raisers and Networking events giving back to the communities that support us around the country.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
