A Passion UnVEILed
Our love story began more than 30 years ago at Michigan State University ~ sipping the “fruit wines” that my father, Papa John, first introduced us to. That simple beginning grew into a shared passion and our wine journey later led us through Michigan, Wisconsin, Tennessee and the 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 instantly fell in love. For twelve years, these handcrafted beauties have been a staple at our gatherings, sparking curiosity and admiration from friends. Now, as the proud owners, we are excited to share this exceptional product that embodies quality and craftsmanship.
My Great-Grandfather Michael came to the U.S. from Russia many years ago and opened a tailor shop ~ a tradition my Grandpa Bill later carried on. Today, we hope to honor their legacy by sharing our handcrafted VEILs with you. Each piece is proudly sewn by hand right here in the USA, with the same dedication to quality that’s been passed down through generations.🧵
Our love of family, tradition, wine and passion for wineVEIL becomes the perfect blend, so please raise a glass with us and toast to new beginnings!
Because every sip deserves a little romance…
✨Mio Amato Velo ~ my beloved veil. That’s amore✨

We would like to pay tribute to Kelly Egan, the founder of wineVEIL! Her original innovative design has been protecting glasses of sweet nectar since 2010. The Original wineVEIL is a masterpiece of elegant craftsmanship, featuring a soft and simple form crafted from a 5″ x 5″ finished piece of two-tone chiffon. Each corner is beautifully weighted with silver-cast charms, creating a delicate and sheer drape that transforms any wine glass, decanter or bottle into a stunning centerpiece. Imagine hosting a lovely gathering, and as you pour your favorite vintage, you effortlessly top off each glass with a stunning wineVEIL. It’s not just a practical solution; it’s a conversation piece that adds a touch of sophistication to your outdoor festivities. Let’s raise a glass to Kelly and the magic of the Original wineVEIL since 2010! Cheers!!🥂
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 a time for relaxation & conversation...
wineVEILs are beautifully crafted squares that drape over each glass giving a bit more “pizazz” to your tablescape. They are simply the best addition to any “al fresco” gathering because they keep the bugs out of your glass; while allowing your wine to breathe. wineVEILs allow you to enjoy the great outdoors while keeping the fruit flies from doing the backstroke in your wine!!
