About Behind the Cellar Door Imports
About Us
Behind the Cellar Door Imports is a boutique wine importing and distribution company focused on sourcing distinctive, high‑quality wines from independent producers around the world. Founded on the belief that great wine should be both expressive and accessible, we prioritize wines that deliver a genuine sense of place without relying on corporate scale or inflated pricing.
Much of our portfolio comes from family‑owned wineries and small, independently operated estates. These are producers closely connected to their vineyards, regions, and traditions, resulting in wines that offer real character, authenticity, and story—even at approachable price points.
Our approach is intentionally selective. Rather than building a broad, commoditized catalog, we curate a focused portfolio of producers who share our commitment to quality, consistency, and integrity. We view ourselves as long‑term partners to our wineries, working collaboratively on market positioning and sustainable growth while preserving what makes each wine distinctive.
For our customers, this means access to wines that consistently overdeliver—wines chosen with care, represented with integrity, and valued for the story they tell from vineyard to glass.
Our Philosophy

By staying selective and relationship‑driven, we’re able to offer wines that deliver real character, authenticity, and sense of place—even at approachable price points. Every wine we represent is chosen for its quality, integrity, and the story it tells from vineyard to glass.
