About Des Voigne Cellars:
After an inspiring honeymoon in Italy he decided to become a hobby winemaker. In 2004 he decided to turn a hobby into a career and began producing limited quantities of unique blends and varietal wines. Darren’s extensive collection of vintage jazz records are the inspiration behind the wine labels.
Des Voigne Cellars closed their tasting room so Darren and Lissy could spend time with their boys, Miles and Chapman, and now produce wines exclusively for their wine club members and select private label clients. oh, and Us!
