About Us

A success story made in Annecy

It all started in 2002. Vinatis is born from two friends with common passions: entrepreneurship and wine, especially. The ambition of Olivier and Manu is to help the consumer to choose his bottle alone, by offering a real selection at the best price.

« We wanted to demystify wine and to make it more accessible to new generations. »Emmanuel Toussaint

« We were able to manage this company like a good father of a family, avoiding risky investments (...). At the beginning, we did not have much money so we had to have lots of ideas! »Olivier Ivangine

It is at the edge of Lake Annecy that our start up focuses all of its services; from marketing to logistics. Since day one, we stood by our policy of price and services, and the strong relationship of trust with the winemakers. Pioneers in selling wine online, we could impose ourselves with genuine business ethics.

A website that is now a reference

Over the years, we have created customer loyalty by seducing our clients with the quality and seriousness of our service.
In 2009, our website was elected best online wine merchant. According to the E-Performance Barometer, users have voted for us because of the usability, reliability, and design of our website. Together with the quality of our products and information, interactivity and personalization potentials; and of course, security and respect for privacy. A pledge of confidence that we absolutely want to preserve!

Now a successful business, we gather forty talented employees fashioning a site at the height of their ambition. We are moving forward with our heads full of ideas!
Aware of our weight in the wine industry and to our competitors, we open to the international market and propose our site in English, German and Italian.

Your online wine merchant

Vinatis does not simply sell bottles of wine! We strive to establish a strong relationship with our customers. It is easy to find a good bottle according to your profile or your tastes!

« We offer the possibility to our customers - even the least expert - to learn, to make their own choice and to be able to talk about their purchases. Yes, we are an on-line wine shop, but wine merchants above
all ! »Emmanuel Toussaint

Starting from a very practical sectioning; comprehensive and qualitative description sheets, incorporating tasting comments of both sommeliers and customers, we managed to convince both the connoisseur as the neophyte! For each wine, we inform about methods of winemaking, tasting tips, food pairings and storage conditions.

A community of enthusiasts

The tasting committee of seven experts meets the requirements of a wine merchant business: visits to vineyards, wine fairs, blind tastings, and selection of the best quality-prices. Our experts offer a range of eclectic and attractive wines, keeping into account your comments and ratings.
Customer reviews visibility, dialogue space on the site, presence on social networks; gradually, a strong community of enthusiasts has born and revealed our best ambassadors. We leave the opportunity for visitors to express a neutral opinion about the site, or about wines and tasting tips; choosing taste first!
