Wonderwerk House Of Fermentation was born in Los Angeles after a long night on a disco dancefloor where lifelong friends, Andrew Lardy and Issamu Kamide, became inspired to create natural wines which express the inclusivity and joy found through music.

In a world which has been traditionally exclusive, Wonderwerk seeks to create wines that are approachable, fun, and delicious, delighting everyone from those new to wine to even the most seasoned sommelier.

Andrew and Issamu, with backgrounds in Viticulture and Enology and Creative Marketing respectively, draw inspiration from the diverse food and drink culture of Los Angeles to create low intervention, high innovation natural wines, each with a LA story. Offerings include Free Your Mind, a co-ferment of Carignan and Riesling, Bustin’ Loose, a Carbonic Pet-nat made from California Mission grapes, Free Your Mind Lite, a tangy Piquette crafted with heirloom Oaxacan hibiscus sourced from Los Angeles’ Masienda and Japanese plum, and many more.
