Chatwin is my product line of Chateau de Wintrange of Luxembourg (est 1610). As a product designer and former chef, I took inspiration from many aspects of my life experiences and heritage when building the Chatwin brand. The name, Chatwin, centers around the family estate Chateau de Wintrange in the Moselle wine country, home of Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois and of course Crémant. This brand was built to reflect my personal love for all things that age beautifully, and to add a level of quality to daily tasks - like elevating cooking, hosting friends, and the dining experience as a whole.

I now live and work in beautiful Kamloops, BC in Canada, and hop back and forth between Luxembourg and Canada. Looking back on memories of life and growing up in Wintrange, it has always been a place of magnificent beauty and jubilant gatherings where friends and family along with the surrounding community shared their special moments. With our own gardens, orchards and a small former distillery, these gatherings were almost always centered around great food, which we grew or raised ourselves, and cherishing the entirety of the process from the moment a seed is planted, to harvesting it, preparing it and, enjoying the result of our hard work in the form of a delicious home cooked meal with friends and loved ones.

This focus on food preparation and my family's love and respect for things that are built to last and can be passed down through the generations, have played a major role in the story of the Chatwin philosophy.
