The Full Story

Fraudonnay began with a simple idea: that indulgence and balance could share the same glass. After twenty-three years together, we’ve learned that the greatest gift in life is to be present—the ability to slow down, savor, and enjoy the moments that matter most.

As older parents to a spirited seven-year-old (and her equally lively puppy), our days revolve around finding balance—between chaos and calm, wellness and indulgence. Before parenthood, we built a life around food, travel, and the pursuit of beautiful experiences. One of us loves wine; one of us never drinks, yet we both love the ritual: the pour, the pause, the connection, the celebration. And because the options were limited, one of us was always the designated driver.

Every non-alcoholic beverage we tried was too sweet, too sugary, too…sad. So, we created our own. Fraudonnay became our way to raise the same glass—sophisticated, delicious, and guilt-free. A wine that feels indulgent without consequence, crafted for those who seek pleasure, health, and connection in perfect harmony.

For one of us, it’s about embracing wellness without giving up the beauty of ritual.

For the other, it’s about being sober-curious and celebrating life with clarity.

For both of us, it’s a promise that luxury never has to come at a cost.

Created for the health-conscious, the sober curious, and those who believe that pleasure and wellness can coexist, Fraudonnay is our toast to living well and raising the same glass together.

Because the secret to feeling good isn’t saying no—it’s finding better ways to saying yes.
