Wine With Pete

About Wine With Pete

A movement toward slower, more meaningful connections in a world that moves too fast.

The Mission

In a world of endless notifications, surface-level interactions, and rushed conversations, Wine With Pete exists to create space for something different. We believe in the power of slowing down, of gathering around fire and food, and of having the kinds of conversations that matter.

Our community is built on the simple idea that the best connections happen when we pause, listen deeply, and share what's real. Whether it's around a campfire on the beach or at an intimate dinner table, we create environments where authentic conversation can flourish.

Who is Pete?

Pete is a writer, community builder, and believer in the power of slow conversation. After years of feeling disconnected in a hyper-connected world, he started hosting small gatherings around fire and food, where people could share stories, ask hard questions, and build genuine connections.

What started as informal beach fires with friends has grown into a community of people who value depth over breadth, quality over quantity, and the kind of conversations that stay with you long after the fire burns out.
