Van Hunks Drinks was founded in 2020 with a simple idea: to bring adventure back into the world of Sparkling Wine. Crafted in South Africa, the brand set out to challenge a category that has become too polished, predictable, and not nearly as exciting as it should be. Their mission is grounded in the belief that great bubbles should do more than fill a glass — it should bring people together and contribute to the place it comes from. By championing bold alternatives across both Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic ranges, Van Hunks is reimagining what modern Sparkling Wine can be: expressive, inclusive, and disruptive.But purpose sits at the heart of the brand as much as craft. The brand is committed to integrating positive social and environmental impact into everything they do — from hand-harvesting grapes to prioritising sustainable, pesticide-free farming practices. Through long-standing collaborations with organisations like The Pebbles Project, supporting education, health, and family upliftment across Western Cape agricultural communities, and GreenPop, driving reforestation and ecological restoration, Van Hunks plays an active role in shaping a more resilient future for the people and places behind every bottle.
