Every glass tells a story of a place, its people,
and the moments that bring us together
Different ways to discover places, stories, and connection
Curated journeys through wine regions — designed around the character of a place, its people, and its stories.
Not a tour, but an immersive experience where you travel through culture, not just geography.
Guided tastings that help you understand what you’re experiencing — not just what you’re drinking.
Learn to read a wine through its structure, its origin, and the story behind it.
Experiences built around the relationship between wine and food — showing not just what works, but why it works.
A deeper way to enjoy both, and to understand the logic behind every combination.
Structured sessions that bring clarity to wine — from how to taste to how to navigate regions and styles.
Professional knowledge, delivered in a way that feels accessible and real.
Tailored wine experiences designed around your moment — from intimate gatherings to larger events.
Every detail is built around your group, your context, and how you want the experience to feel.
Beyond the Grapes was created from a simple belief: wine is more than a drink — it is a way to understand the world.
For its founder, Federico Ling, wine has always been a gateway to culture, travel, and human connection. Each bottle carries the story of a place, its people, and its history.
This project was created to turn those stories into experiences — to move beyond tasting, and into discovery, connection, and belonging.
You don’t just taste wine — you step into the place it comes from.
A glass can lead you to a coastal town, a quiet vineyard, or a table where stories are shared between locals. It can open the history of a region, the traditions behind it, and the people who shaped it.
What you taste is only the beginning. What you discover is everything around it.
Federico Ling, DipWSET, is a wine professional, educator, and columnist who has spent years exploring wine through culture, history, and everyday life. What started as a personal connection became something he wanted to share — a way for others to experience the world through wine, not just learn about it.
That idea became Beyond the Grapes.
A different way to travel, discover, and connect: sense of belonging
You enjoy wine — but you’re curious about what’s behind it: the region, the people, the culture.
You’re drawn to places for their stories, not just their landmarks. You don’t just observe from the outside — you look for experiences that let you feel a place from within.
You value shared moments, meaningful conversations, and discovering something together.
And when you travel, you’re not just collecting memories — you’re looking for something that changes how you see a place, and what stays with you after.
