When it started

BONDLE began couple of years ago when founder Duyen Ha left New York City to attend culinary school in Paris.
While working as a chef in some of France’s most renowned restaurants, she had the deliciously simple idea of bringing the best and most exciting French wines directly to your door.

Grown, harvested, vinified, bottled and labeled in France.

Each wine in our highly curated collection is made by an experienced winemaker with the utmost respect for its terroir. We’ve carefully selected partner winemakers (whittled down from more than 100+ French vineyards) who share our passion for wine, food and hospitality.

What sets us apart?

In gathering with friends, family, and lovers, we found that a single standard bottle of wine sometimes wasn’t enough. BONDLE started as a magnums-only wine brand with the aim of bringing people together and elevating any celebration.
