Horse Devours was founded by Leyla Ersan & Ian Shapen in 2022. We began our food & wine journey shortly after we started dating while attending college together. We spent many days and nights exploring food and wines from different regions of the world. Many of the wines from this time were made with a natural approach. We didn't really know what this meant at the time, we're not sure that we do now either. It wasn't until years later that we realized this exploration period had a profound impact on our wine journey and future together.

We later stumbled into a community of like minded people within the wine industry. Sharing similar desires to see more sustainable farming and less intervention in the cellar, these friends made us realize we too could do this.

Here we are. We make wines we enjoy, and hopefully you will too! Our approach to making wine is as unconventional as our pathway into it. We break rules and don't plan to stop. Have fun, because why not?

We look forward to sharing more with you soon. For now, go buy a local wine and share it with someone in a park, on a beach, at the summit or on the trunk of your car.
