WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT
Mountain Peoples Wine & Beer Distribution is now celebrating over ten years as one of the leading organic wine and beer distributors in the industry. Founded in 1994, by Michael Funk, we operated for several years along side Michael’s other company, Mountain Peoples Warehouse (now known as UNFI), which is the largest distributor of natural foods and supplements in the nation.
After several years of hard work by our dedicated staff,
we grew so large that it became necessary to open our own facilities independent
of the food company. In July of 2004 our California Headquarters opened its
doors in the small town of Grass Valley, nestled in the Sierra Nevada
foothills.
OUR OBJECTIVE
As a company, our goal is to provide quality service to the many customers we already have and introduce organic wine and beer to other prospective clients wherever possible. We have a devoted team of Outside Sales Representatives, each of whom has a designated territory and have developed strong relationships with their clients. From large supermarket chains, to small natural foods co-ops; from corner café’s to specialty wine shops, our products are distributed and available to a wide variety of consumers and we are continually striving to broaden our reach.
We currently have two warehouses in operation with locations in California, and Oregon; allowing us to service over 1,100 customers in the western states. Each of our facilities has its own fleet of vehicles and we can provide weekly deliveries to most locations.
THE PRODUCTS
We maintain the principles on which our company was founded of providing quality service and products while supporting the organic industry, and we are proud to boast over 250 different skus in our inventory. These products include wine and beer which are certified organic or made with organic ingredients, wines which have no sulfites added, and wines made with Demeter Certified biodynamic grapes. Our catalog reflects the diversity of the customers we service with both domestic and imported selections. We represent the highest quality wines and beers from around the world which are produced using healthy growing practices and methods.
