“After years of working together on cruise ships, my wife Anna and I decided to start a life together in her home city of St. Petersburg, Florida. 

 

Myself being a Cape Town native, we’d visit my family in South Africa annually and as wine enthusiasts, do wine tastings at some of the many world class wineries in the Western Cape. After a few years of lamenting the apparent lack of good South African wine in Florida, we decided to take on the challenge: Claude & Rose Importing Co. was born!    

 

Today we import one of the top 3 selling craft gins in South Africa, and some of the best red & white wines the Cape has to offer. 

 

We can’t wait for people to try our wines and spirits and enjoy them as we did when we first discovered them.” - Craig Kallis, Owner
