Our Story
Welcome to UrbanFindr—a place where every bottle tells a story, and every sip is a step on a new adventure. Our passion for food, wine, and spirits is the heartbeat of our brand, driven by a love for bringing people together in a celebration of flavours and experiences.
The Beginning
My name is Yung and let me tell you our story. UrbanFindr was born from countless evenings spent enjoying good food and wine with friends and family. It all started with hosting dinner parties at home, where each guest would bring a bottle of their favourite wine or a homemade dish. These gatherings were more than just meals—they were moments of connection, exploration, and laughter.
Traveling to over 40 countries for work and pleasure, I discovered the universal language of good food, wine or a well-crafted cocktail and the joy of sharing it with strangers who became friends. My wife, Jen, a Certified Wine Educator and sommelier, joined me in my passion for good food and drink. She has been my partner in the world of wines and she selects all the wines that we import. Her exceptional palate and passion for teaching has helped make UrbanFindr what it is today.
