About The VinoKarma Project™.

Vino. Karma. - Two words that when combined create new meaning!

VinoKarma is more than just wine. It's the brainchild of Amanda Laden, a passionate leader driven by a simple mission: bringing people together over a glass (or two) for good.

Amanda's story is one of exploration and purpose. 10 years abroad and traveling to over 50 countries ignited her love for culture, food, wine, and building communities. Now, a certified wine expert with a vibrant career in the industry, she's on a quest to demystify wine while making a positive impact.

A Life of Exploration: When Amanda's not immersed in the world of wine, you might find her exploring the country with her beloved bulldog/poodle mix, Bernie. Amanda isn't just passionate about wine and community – through solo female travel, she embraces personal growth and discovers new perspectives, all with her furry friend by her side.

Here's what sets VinoKarma apart:
