Get to know us
Skyline Wine Partners was born out of a simple idea: great wines deserve thoughtful representation, especially in markets that value story, craft, and connection.
We’re based in California, but deeply connected to Korea—its culture, its people, and its fast-evolving wine scene. Our team speaks both languages—literally and figuratively. We understand the challenges small and mid-sized wineries face when stepping into export, and we know what Korean importers are really looking for.
More than just a broker or middleman, we act as your advocate. Your partner. Your boots on the ground. Whether it’s navigating regulations, shaping your brand message, or pouring your wine at a Seoul trade tasting, we’re right there beside you.
This work is personal for us—and we take pride in helping wineries grow internationally without losing what makes them special.
Our mission
Our mission is to help California’s artisan wineries succeed in Korea by providing strategic guidance, local market insight, and direct importer relationships. We’re here to make international growth approachable, sustainable, and true to each winery’s unique story.
Our vision
We envision a thriving community of independent winemakers whose wines are discovered, appreciated, and enjoyed throughout Korea. By bridging cultures and connecting the right partners, we aim to elevate the presence of California wines on the global stage—starting with Korea.
Our team
We’re a small team with deep roots—both in California wine country and in Korean culture.
We’ve walked vineyards with winemakers in Santa Barbara and shared soju with buyers in Seoul. We understand what it takes to tell a winery’s story in a new market, and we know how to build trust with the importers and distributors who matter.
What sets us apart is that we’re not just consultants—we’re connectors. Translators. Advocates. We’ve worked in wine sales, hospitality, distribution, and export, and we bring that full-circle experience to every partnership we form.
At Skyline, you won’t find layers of bureaucracy or big agency fluff. You’ll work directly with people who care deeply about your wine, your brand, and your success abroad. And we’re with you every step of the way.
