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?
After years of feeling disconnected in a hyper-connected world, I started hosting small gatherings around fire and food, where people could share stories, ask hard questions, and build genuine connections.
What began 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.
I'm a writer, community builder, and believer in the power of slow conversation. This project is my attempt to create spaces where we can pause, listen deeply, and turn toward what matters.
What We Do
🔥 Open Fire Sundays
Casual, coastal gatherings where we cook over fire, share stories, and connect with nature and each other. No agenda, just good food and real conversation.
🍷 Salon Dinners
Intimate, curated dinners around hard questions and honest conversation. Smaller groups, deeper discussions, lasting connections.
What We're Becoming
Wine With Pete is evolving into a platform for essays, gatherings, recipes, and media that support slow living and genuine connection. We're building something that extends beyond individual events into a movement toward more meaningful relationships.
Through weekly essays, curated gatherings, fire-friendly recipes, and thoughtful content, we're creating resources and experiences that help people slow down, connect authentically, and build communities around what truly matters.
Our Values
Authenticity
We create spaces where people can be their real selves, not their social media personas.
Slow Connection
We believe the best relationships develop over time, not in quick interactions.
Community
We build lasting connections that extend beyond individual events.
