Water and Wines

About us
At Water and Wines, we believe that learning about wine should be like savouring a perfectly aged vintage – it's a journey of discovery that unveils layers of complexity and beauty with every step. That’s why we’ve created a collection of sommelier-made, artist-illustrated puzzles that take you on an adventure through the world of wine and spirits. Each puzzle is thoroughly researched, sustainably made, and expertly crafted so you can play, learn, and create unforgettable moments with loved ones.

We want to be your one-stop-shop for wanderlust-filled adventures and memorable experiences that bring you closer to the ones you cherish or add mindfulness to your solo time. Our products are not just puzzles; they are magical journeys waiting to happen. Imagine cozying up with your besties for a lasagna dinner night and bonding over a wine puzzle of Italy, or feeling recharged and inspired after putting together the sunny coast of California during your wind-down time. These moments are what we live for, and we can't wait to share them with you.

Join us on this journey and discover the joy of the world of wine and spirits like never before.

How it all started
Yamit and Mathilde are the dynamic duo behind Water and Wines, united by their love for wine and puzzles. Yamit, a sommelier with an unwavering passion for wine, wanted to create a way to learn about wine that didn’t feel like homework. That’s when she teamed up with her friend Mathilde, a master of maps and puzzle lover, to create a playful experience that would encapsulate the essence of the world of wine and spirits. Together, they set out to create a series of wine puzzles, each one an adventure to savour.

Where we are today
Today, we’re a tight-knit team of seven passionate individuals hailing from five different corners of the world. We may be small, but we’re bursting with big dreams of bringing exciting adventures to your doorstep through our unique wine puzzles.
