The Calabria Family Wine Group has purchased distributors House of Fine Wine and The Wine Company.
The distribution agencies have been purchased from Indevin (Villa Maria brand owner) and the Tahbilk Group respectively.
The family business, established in 1945, will take over Australian distribution of their brand portfolio including Groupe Bollinger, Villa Maria and Tahbilk, managing all on‑premise and independent retail distribution nationally.
Andrew Calabria says the milestone reflects the family’s dedication and marks a significant step forward in strengthening Calabria Family Wine Group’s portfolio and national footprint across both on‑premise and independent retail channels.
“This milestone brings together three like‑minded businesses that share our values and long‑term view of the industry,” he says.
“Welcoming House of Fine Wine and The Wine Company into the Calabria family significantly strengthens our national distribution with some of the world’s most respected wine brands and positions us to deliver even greater value across the Australian market.
“We are passionate about representing world‑class wines, and both portfolios reflect that same dedication.
“We look forward to championing the ongoing success of these iconic brands, including Groupe Bollinger, Villa Maria and Tahbilk.”
As part of the transition, Calabria Family Wine Group has integrated key personnel from both the House of Fine Wine and The Wine Company into its sales, customer service and marketing teams.
“Their expertise ensures continuity for brand partners and strengthens the Group’s capability as it takes these portfolios forward across the Australian market,” Andrew says.
Simon Limmer, CEO of Indevin Group and owner of House of Fine Wine, says the partnership is an important milestone in pursuing Indevin’s customer‑centric strategy and supports continued growth of the Villa Maria brand in Australia.
“Calabria Family Wine Group brings deep market expertise, long‑term commitment to the wine sector, and strong alignment with our values,” Limmer says.
“Together, we can ensure continued momentum for the Villa Maria brand in one of our key markets.”
