About Us
Headquartered in Chicagoland; offering boutique wines from around the world
Josefina founded Authentic Vine after realizing how difficult it was to find boutique Argentine wines in the Chicago area. Born and raised in Argentina—where wine is the national beverage—starting an import company felt like a natural extension of her roots and passion.
Authentic Vine Corporation was built on the idea of giving small, independent producers a chance to reach the U.S. market. Today, our curated portfolio includes not only wines from Argentina but also from other regions, each chosen for its authenticity, quality, and story.
Based in the Chicagoland area, we specialize in handselling—connecting directly with boutique retailers and passionate restaurateurs who value wines with a soul. This personal approach ensures that each wine finds the right home and the right audience.
As the business evolved, Josefina expanded into wine-focused travel. Drawing on years of experience exploring vineyards around the world, she launched Authentic Vine Travel – The Edit, powered by FORA. Because wine is place—and to truly experience it, you have to go there.
A love of wine and culture
Authentic Vine Corporation scouts the world for boutique wine producers that want to share their wine, culture and story with our consumers. Authentic wine builds unique and strong relationships.
Collaborative distribution
Collaboration is one of our key company values.
We currently have our own distribution center serving Illinois, in collaboration with several importers. Our own imports are becoming available in other states through various partnerships.
