🍇 About Us

Global Winery Market was founded by siblings Jacinta and Chris Plazzer, combining a lifetime of experience across wine, tourism, retail, wellness, and entrepreneurship.

In 2000, Jacinta and Chris co-founded Cloudwine, one of Melbourne’s earliest boutique wine retailers. Chris went on to own and operate Cloudwine for over 20 years, before expanding his footprint in the industry by purchasing Chillout Wine Tours, a leading winery tourism business operating throughout Australia, and also founding the European Wine Store in South Melbourne.

Jacinta, an original Cloudwine founder, went on to build and scale ventures internationally. She co-owned Simba Sea Trips, a Phuket-based tourism business known for premium island tours, and created Yeppoonie Smoothie, an Australian plant-based health brand now selling globally. Her expertise in brand building, digital growth, and international markets complements Chris’s deep background in wine and tourism, creating a strong foundation for Global Winery Market.

Together, we saw a gap in the global wine industry: vineyards and wineries are often marketed privately or scattered across regional broker networks, making them difficult for buyers and investors to access. Global Winery Market was created to bridge that gap — a curated platform that provides sellers with global exposure, while connecting qualified buyers with opportunities worldwide.

✉️ A Message from Jacinta & Chris

“From Cloudwine to wine tours, European retail, global health brands, and international tourism, our careers have always been about creating connections and opening doors.

With Global Winery Market, our vision is to bring that same energy to the vineyard world — giving winery owners a professional global stage to tell their story, and buyers a trusted gateway to discover estates they might otherwise never find.

This is more than a marketplace. It’s a meeting point between heritage and the future of wine.”

— Jacinta & Chris Plazzer, Founders
