A Passion Unveiled
Our love story began more than thirty years ago at Michigan State University — sharing simple glasses of “fruit wine,” introduced to us by my father, Papa John. What started as a humble sip soon blossomed into a lifelong passion. That shared curiosity carried us through Michigan, Wisconsin, Tennessee and eventually to the sun-drenched vineyards of Northern California. 🍷
We were married in beautiful Petoskey, Michigan — a place that still holds our hearts. ♥️ Years later, while celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary in Napa Valley, we discovered wineVEILs® at Mumm Napa — and it was amore at first sight. For over twelve years, these handcrafted beauties graced our gatherings, sparking conversations, curiosity and admiration around the table. Today, as the proud stewards of wineVEIL®, we are honored to share a product that embodies artistry, intention and timeless craftsmanship.
Our story is also stitched with heritage. My great-grandfather Michael immigrated to the United States from Russia and opened a tailor shop — a tradition carried on by my Grandpa Bill. That devotion to craft, quality and detail lives on in every wineVEIL®, each one sewn by hand in the USA with care and pride. 🧵
Family, tradition, wine and romance — when woven together, they create something truly special. So please, raise a glass with us and toast to new beginnings, lingering evenings and moments meant to be savored.
Because every sip deserves a little romance…

A Tribute to the Original wineVEIL®
We are honored to pay tribute to Kelly Egan, the visionary founder of wineVEIL®, whose original and innovative design has been protecting glasses of sweet nectar since 2010. The Original wineVEIL® is a masterpiece of elegant craftsmanship. Each veil begins as a softly finished 5″ x 5″ square of two-tone chiffon, thoughtfully designed to drape with effortless grace. Delicately weighted silver-cast charms anchor each corner, allowing the sheer fabric to fall beautifully over wine glasses, decanters and bottles — transforming them into stunning centerpieces. Imagine hosting a lovely gathering, and as you pour your favorite vintage, you effortlessly top off each glass with a stunning wineVEIL®. It’s more than a practical solution — it’s a moment of beauty, a conversation starter and a touch of sophistication that elevates every outdoor celebration. Let’s raise a glass to Kelly and the magic of the Original wineVEIL since 2010. Cin cin! 🥂
Take the Scenic Route
Our VEILs enhance the beauty of the wine in a glass while allowing the wine to breathe. We try not to take ourselves too seriously… we are fun loving folks who enjoy laughing, relaxing & making new friends on beautiful vineyards. We shall take the scenic route on this new journey as we celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary… traveling across the country to wineries while sharing our passion for the VEILs. We are currently living in the Chicagoland area with our four wonderful children & Moki pup. Cheers from our family to yours!!
Meet the wineVEIL Team~
We are a small but mighty family run business, and we are delighted that all four of our children are involved every step of the way… this is where adventure meets sophistication because we all bring something very different to the table. We are based in Chicagoland, handcrafted here, we are woman owned, and you will not find us on Amazon.
When you choose wineVEIL, you’re embracing authenticity and supporting local artisans who take great pride in everything they do. Our wineVEILs are proudly sewn by hand here in Chicagoland. We have partnered with local craftspeople who pour their hearts into every stitch; and we have been blown away by their unwavering commitment to excellence. Alejandro uses his expertise to cut the gorgeous two-tone chiffon fabric to perfection. Leo and her team create the exquisite wineVEILs with their experienced and skilled hands.
Together we make it all happen!
Our Inspiration~
Sipping wine outdoors is more than a moment — it’s a ritual. A chance to slow down, laugh a little longer and savor la dolce vita.
Inspired by Italian al fresco living, wineVEILs® are beautifully handcrafted squares designed to drape effortlessly over each glass, adding a touch of elegance and a whisper of charm to your table. Think candlelit patios, long conversations, clinking glasses and evenings that linger well past sunset.
Beyond their beauty, wineVEILs® serve a purpose Italians have mastered for centuries: enjoying the outdoors with ease. They keep fruit flies out of your glass while allowing your wine to breathe naturally — so every sip can be savored.
You can relax with wineVEILs® , pour freely and enjoy peaceful perfection in every glass.
Cin cin to effortless elegance, outdoor living and savoring life one sip at a time. ✨
