MADE FOR THE MOMENTS THAT LAST

Fussie was created for the nights that unfold slowly. The dinners that stretch past midnight, the playlists you know by heart, the friends who always linger a little longer. We wanted a wine that fit these moments. Something beautiful, easy, and meant to be shared.

WHY FUSSIE?

Fussie is built on the idea that being particular is a good thing. Knowing what you like and standing by it isn’t a flaw, it’s a flex. It’s a word that’s been used as an insult before, but we’re reclaiming it. We’re fussie about wine.

But that doesn’t mean white tablecloths or overpriced bottles. We wanted great wine that fits into real life, the kind you open with friends, bring to the park, or pour a half glass on a Tuesday. This is wine on our terms.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe we’re all a little fussie about something

We believe wine should feel welcoming, not exclusive

We believe in long conversations, full tables, and slow evenings

We believe in joy, creativity, and connection

We believe in reimagining wine culture for our generation

MEET THE FOUNDERS

Tess and Sam have been best friends since they were seven years old and have been shaping the world around them ever since. They're the first to admit that they're fussie. About the wine, the table, the lighting, everything.

They have been chasing life together from San Francisco to Paris and everywhere in between. Along the way, running into the same frustration: opening a great bottle for a glass or two, only to waste the rest days later. So they built something. A labor of love. A perfectly curated wine, in a box.

MEET THE FOUNDERS

Tess and Sam created Fussie with a shared love of hosting, good design, and the kind of wine you want to open again and again. Their vision was simple. Make something that feels like real life. Warm. Beautiful. Easy.

Their backgrounds span wine, design, and brand building, but the heart of Fussie comes from friendship and the joy of being around a table with the people you love most.

FIGHTING WINE WASTE ONE BOX AT A TIME

Our Process

Northern California vineyards are at the heart of Fussie. This terroir is our home and one of the best in the world. We source exclusively from family farms, many of them multigenerational, that prioritize sustainable farming, biodiversity, and long-term stewardship. From organic farming practices to thoughtful vineyard management, each site is committed to producing exceptional fruit while caring for the land that makes it possible. We work thoughtfully with each of these lots to create one-of-one blends that don't exist anywhere else.

Our Footprint

We box our wines because it’s a better way to enjoy them, for you and the planet.

Boxed wine uses significantly less packaging than glass, helping reduce carbon emissions during production and shipping. It also keeps wine fresh longer once opened, fighting the unnecessary waste that comes with unfinished bottles. With lighter materials, fewer resources, and less water used overall, boxing our wines is an intentional choice to make high-quality wine more sustainable without compromising how it tastes or how it’s shared.
