Exclusive wines delivered with care
We are LAVIN, a family business dedicated to exporting special French wines to the Netherlands. Our name tells our story right away: LAVIN is a combination of our last name, Laning, and the French word vin, which of course means "wine". It symbolizes our personal approach and our passion for wine.
We bring exclusive wines from renowned regions such as Bourgogne, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Vallée de la Loire and Vallée du Rhône, directly from the vineyard to your table. What makes us unique is our personal approach. We collect the wines ourselves from the producers, store them in our warehouse and drive to the Netherlands every month to provide our customers with unique wines that are often still unknown in the Netherlands. Due to our close ties with the winegrowers, we can offer wines of exceptional quality at a fair price.
With our presence at French wine salons, we always stay up to date with the latest trends and developments in the wine world. Discover wines with a story, craftsmanship and a personal touch at LAVIN.
Organic wines: sustainable and pure
Part of our range is dedicated to organic wines, a category that is becoming increasingly popular among wine lovers. These wines are made without chemical pesticides, fertilizers or synthetic additives, which is not only better for nature, but also contributes to pure, authentic flavors in the glass.
We carefully select our organic wines from winegrowers who have sustainability at their core and are committed to healthy vineyards and balanced soil. This dedication to natural processes results in wines with character, in which the terroir is fully appreciated.
At LAVIN, we believe that organic wines are not only a conscious choice, but also a tasteful discovery for those looking for quality and authenticity. Whether you are a connoisseur or simply curious, our selection offers something special for everyone.
Wie zit er achter LAVIN?
Nederlands, Frans, Engels & Spaans
Ambierle, Loire (42), Frankrijk
Mijn naam is Peter Laning, geboren in Zwolle, en inmiddels al lange tijd woonachtig in Frankrijk. Vanuit mijn liefde voor goede wijn en ambachtelijke producten heb ik, samen met mijn moeder, mijn eigen wijnhandel opgericht, gespecialiseerd in bijzondere cuvées van grootendeels kleine, onafhankelijke wijnmakers (vignerons indépendants).
​
Mijn passie voor wijn is gegroeid door ervaring in de praktijk: ik heb gewerkt bij verschillende wijnboeren in Frankrijk, Argentinië en Chili. Daar heb ik van dichtbij kunnen zien wat er nodig is om écht goede wijn te maken – van druif tot fles. Om mijn kennis verder te verdiepen, heb ik ook het WSET 2-diploma behaald aan de AIVA (Académie Internationale des Vins en Alsace).​​
​
Ik verkoop geen standaardwijnen, maar karaktervolle flessen met een verhaal. Ik deel mijn passie graag via proeverijen, samenwerking of gewoon een goed gesprek over wijn.

U bent van harte welkom!
Own Transport, Storage and Customs
Personal care and value for winegrowers
At LAVIN we do everything ourselves to ensure that the wines arrive with the greatest care and attention to our customers in the Netherlands. We collect the wines directly from the winegrowers in France and store them in our own storage. This gives us full control over the process, so that we can always deliver the best quality.
Every month we personally drive from France to the Netherlands, where we provide our customers with exclusive wines. By arranging the transport ourselves, we can ensure that the wines are transported safely and under the right conditions. Our storage space ensures that the wines are kept in a controlled and stable environment, so that they are at their best when they arrive at our customers.
In addition, we also take full responsibility for all customs formalities. Many of the winegrowers we work with do not export themselves, simply because the customs procedures involve a lot of work. External companies can be hired to arrange this, but this is often not financially viable for smaller wine producers. We take all the work out of their hands, which means that we can not only offer exclusive wines to our customers in the Netherlands, but also provide significant added value for French winegrowers. They gain access to a wider market without having to worry about the administrative hassle of exporting. In this way, we create a win-win situation for both the winegrowers and our customers.
In order to handle the volumes as a family business, we sometimes work together with national delivery companies in the Netherlands. In this case, we bring the wines to the Netherlands, after which a local delivery company takes care of the delivery to the end customer. This way, we can both guarantee the quality of our service and serve our customers quickly and efficiently.
