Winetour part one: Daniel & Bianka
For the first chapter in our winetour series, we collaborated with German winemakers Daniel & Bianka Schmitt. Their biodynamic approach and shared values around sustainability and craftsmanship made them a natural fit.


Daniel and Bianka Schmitt are winemakers based in Germany. The two met in 2012 when Bianka began an internship at Daniel’s family vineyard. Today, they run the winery together, producing over 150,000 bottles a year. Their work is rooted in biodynamic principles: they treat the vineyard as one living system, avoiding chemicals and working with nature rather than against it.

"We believe we make a near ideal pairing. Our efforts so far have produced healthy vineyards and sustainable wines, and earned us many friends and companions new and old along the way. Our goal? To create grand wines as naturally as possible that embody the true balance between man and nature. Wines that reflect our personalities as well as our creativity."
Daniel & Bianka have a biodynamic approach to creating wine. This means that they treat their vineyard as a living and one solid ecosystem with each portion of the vineyard contributing to the next. The idea is to create a self-sustaining system where chemical fertilizers and pesticides are forbidden.

"When we give mother nature as much freedom as possible to do things her way, she in turn gifts us with her very finest results, reinforcing the precious natural balance." – Daniel & Bianka
The d.b -named after Daniel & Bianka-wine bag has enough space to fit your keys, wallet, a thin jacket and a wine (or water) bottle. Wearing it crossbody is the most functional and practical way because the bag will be close to you the whole time and also your hands will be free.
