Veso
Our Story
Veso makes wine-based aperitifs, produced and bottled by hand at a winery in San Francisco, California. Each bottle starts from a real California wine, then gets infused with whole fruits, hand-peeled citrus, and whole spices rather than extracts or concentrates.
The Founders
Founder Chris Beyer built Veso out of an unusual mix of backgrounds: engineering, design, experiential hosting, small-batch wine-making, and software engineering. He describes building each aperitif intuitively, 'like putting a puzzle together with my eyes closed,' drawing on a knowledge base built years earlier in wine-making.
How We Make It
Veso infuses real California wine and grape spirits with whole ingredients, whole strawberries with their green tops still on, hand-peeled citrus, whole spices, and tea leaves, rather than using flavor extracts. Everything is produced and bottled by hand at their San Francisco winery in small, individually numbered batches.
