Santé Wines, based in Melbourne, is a leading distributor of premium wines, locally crafted ciders, and small batch spirits, offering wholesale prices to licensed businesses across Victoria.

Founded in 2008, Santé Wines is independently owned and led by Managing Director Todd Lichti, a former NBA and NBL basketball player. With a Stanford degree in Quantitative Economics, Todd brings his straight-shooting skills to the wine industry, guiding a small but passionate team alongside General Manager Krisdianne Shimmin.

Our company boasts an extensive range of fine wines that consistently receive top accolades from the world’s most respected wine critics. Over half of the Australian wineries in Santé’s portfolio are regularly rated among the ‘Best Wineries of the Regions’ and receive five-star ratings from James Halliday in his renowned Halliday Wine Companion.

Over the years, the Santé portfolio has expanded to include small-batch spirits and locally crafted ciders. Our dynamic team has extensive experience in Melbourne’s leading hotels, bars, restaurants, independent retailers, and wine distribution companies. This expertise has solidified Santé’s reputation as one of Victoria’s leading on-premise wine distributors, fostering strong relationships with independent and national wine retailers.

While our wine range is extensive, Santé Wines takes pride in offering tailor-made promotional support to help our customers thrive. From designing engaging and profitable wine lists to creating point-of-purchase promotional materials and coordinating winemaker-hosted dinners, our team is dedicated to supporting your business’s success.
