Frances Gonzalez Founder & Vegan Wine Educator
Twenty years into veganism, I discovered something that changed everything: most conventional wines are made using animal by-products — egg whites, fish bladder, gelatin — and nobody talks about it. That transparency gap became my life's work.
I founded Vegan Wines in 2017 to connect people with winemakers who share a commitment to honest, cruelty-free craft. Today I personally visit and vet every vineyard in our portfolio — because I believe what's true in the soil should be true in the glass.
No Guesswork, Just Answers.
What makes a wine vegan?
Most people don't realize that wine can contain animal by-products. Common fining agents like egg whites, gelatin, and casein are often used to clarify wine before bottling. At Vegan Wines, we go beyond the bottle — verifying that no animal products are used from the soil all the way through the fining and filtering process. We personally visit and interview every winemaker in our portfolio to make sure what's in your glass is truly cruelty-free.
How does the featured wine of the month work?
Each month, I personally handpick an exceptional vegan wine from my carefully curated portfolio of small, family-owned vineyards from around the world. I go directly to the source — speaking with the owner, wine tasting manager, or winemaker — to verify that every bottle meets Vegan Wines' standards from the soil to the glass. When you order, you're not just getting a great wine; you're getting one that has been personally vetted with full transparency so you know exactly what you're drinking.
Can I visit these wineries?
We love that you want to go deeper! While Vegan Wines personally visits every vineyard in our portfolio to verify their practices, individual visits depend on each winery. Many of our partner vineyards are small, family-run estates that welcome guests. If you live in California or are planning a visit, reach out to us and we will set it up for you! Follow us for updates on winery tours, virtual Meet the Winemaker events, and travel experiences we curate for our community.
