ABOUT Lagniappe
Lagniappe proudly represents a thoughtfully curated portfolio of wines and spirits throughout Chicagoland and across Illinois. We partner with independent, family-owned producers who share our commitment to authenticity, quality and a strong sense of place. From the vineyards of Burgundy and Barolo to local distilleries and artisanal agave producers, every brand in our portfolio has a story worth telling.
Our diverse portfolio allows us to serve a wide range of customers while maintaining the personal relationships and attentive service that have defined Lagniappe from the beginning. We provide knowledgeable guidance, thoughtful recommendations and hands-on support to help our retail and restaurant partners succeed.
At Lagniappe, we believe great products deserve great representation and we look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
