Gather & Graze. With Karaf.
Every exceptional journey begins with an idea.
Behind the Pour: Our Purpose.
My path to Karaf wasn’t a straight line; it was an evolution. It started from watching bar rescue shows. It spoke to my hospitable, crafty being so I attended Professional Bartending School where I made my way behind the bar, honing my skills as a mixologist. I loved the alchemy of combining ingredients, crafting experiences, and seeing people connect over a perfectly balanced or overly balanced drink. This passion for heading social experiences through beverages soon deepened into a profound appreciation for wine—its complexity, its stories, and its inherent ability to gather people.
Many sought the sophisticated ritual and communal joy of a well-crafted beverage, but without the alcohol. I saw an opportunity to bring the vibes of togetherness, spiritual health, and collective well-being to everyone, in a truly innovative way.
This led me to explore how I could capture the essence of a fine wine and the vibrancy of a classic sangria, all without the alcohol. Karaf is the culmination of that exploration—a non-alcoholic sangria meticulously developed to offer depth, connection, and an elevated experience for all. It’s about creating moments where everyone feels included, uplifted, and connected, sip by mindful sip.`
