Welcome to a different kind of agency.
Winelab Agency is a Danish PR, marketing and design agency specialised in wine. We combine decades of wine industry expertise with hands-on experience in wine, communications, design, and branding. Add to this an unparalleled and strong network within the industry.
Branding and marketing wine
For years, wine has been communicated and promoted in the same ways, leaving little room for innovation and new ways of thinking. While the rest of the world has transformed, the way we think, speak, and act around wine has not. We’re here to change that. We think the wine producers of the world deserve a different kind of agency.
Large-scale wine events
Winelab Agency is experienced in event planning and production in Denmark and abroad. The bi-annual Winemarket in Aarhus is Winelab’s own, independent wine fair with changing themes as well as up to 1100 participants and 20 wine importers and hot spots from a wine region or country.
We bring wine education to life – engaging, interactive, and fun!
Winelab Academy delivers dynamic masterclasses for journalists, wine professionals, waiters, sommeliers, hospitality students, and passionate wine enthusiasts. Led by Mads Jordansen—a seasoned wine educator with over 20 years of experience, from trade, extensive travels, studies, and teaching at sommelier schools—our approach is sharp, engaging, and bilingual in English and Danish.
Wine education needs innovation. It is not just about conveying knowledge but about engaging, challenging, and activating participants. We transform learning into an interactive experience that inspires, motivates, and ensures lasting knowledge retention through dialogue, tastings, and hands-on learning.
