About Us
We are thrilled to announce the recent acquisition of South West Wino's and are excited to continue the journey that founder Melanie Casey began. In 2020, during the Covid lockdowns, Melanie worked tirelessly to bring attention to the exceptional wines crafted by our local winemakers, and it’s a privilege to carry her legacy forward with our new name, Vint Collective.
Vint Collective will offer specialisation in Western Australian wines, offering customers a wide selection of varieties, personalised wine curation services and sourcing of exclusive wines that aren’t widely available, such as limited releases, exclusive lines and museum releases.
Who is behind Vint Collective? Vint Collective is helmed by business partners Josh Hardy and Belinda Hopkins, two industry professionals with decades of combined experience in wine and tourism.
Josh Hardy is an accomplished leader with extensive experience in business management, finance, and strategic planning. With a history of leadership roles in wine production, operations, and business advisory, Josh brings a wealth of expertise to Vint Collective. Currently pursuing his MBA, he combines his deep understanding of the industry with a strong commitment to strategic growth and operational excellence.
Belinda Hopkins has dedicated over two decades to sales and marketing for wine producers, wholesalers, and retailers. Recently retired from a five-year tenure on the board of the Margaret River Wine Association, she has also served on the board of a Local Tourism Organisation (LTO), driving significant success for the wine and tourism industries in the region. Her unique blend of skills and community-driven focus helps Vint Collective champion small producers and deliver luxury wine offerings.
Together, Josh and Belinda bring a shared dedication to uplifting local wine producers, supporting the community, and delivering a curated wine offering.
We’re looking forward to sharing and celebrating the incredible wines Western Australia has to offer.
