OUR STORY

Two people,
one shared love of Italy

We’re Hans and Karin. CasaDelVino is our way of sharing the food, wine, places and people that keep drawing us back to Italy.

It started
around the table

For us, Italy has never been only a destination. It’s the pleasure of a long lunch, a family recipe passed down, a bottle with a story and a town that rewards taking your time.

CasaDelVino grew from a simple wish: to bring more of that feeling home to Ireland and to share what we learn along the way.

Three ways
we share Italy

Karin brings the food and recipes to the table. Hans explores the wines, drinks and stories behind the bottle. And together, we share the places, traditions and experiences that keep drawing us back.

HANS & KARIN

Different interests,
the same table

Karin’s world is food: cooking, ingredients and recipes made to be shared. Hans’s world is wine and other Italian drinks, approached with curiosity and without snobbery. CasaDelVino is where those interests meet.

“The best Italian stories usually begin around a table.”
