Start2Taste

Importer | Distributor | Flavor-Driven Curators Start2Taste is an independent Belgian wine importer driven by one core belief: everything starts with flavour. Based in Waregem, we supply some of Belgium’s most discerning restaurants and a loyal community of private epicureans who seek authenticity over trend, depth over noise, and craftsmanship over commercial volume. Founded by Dimitri Bonte, Start2Taste has always taken a stance against “flat commerce.” Our focus is long-term: building relationships with growers who farm with respect for nature, work their soils honestly, and bottle wines that express identity rather than uniformity. We proudly represent producers who share this philosophy — from classic European terroirs to rising artisanal regions. Our portfolio is intentionally curated. Not the biggest, but sharp, coherent, and full of personality. Every cuvée we import is blind-tasted, analysed, and selected because it tells a story worth sharing. That is why chefs, sommeliers, and wine lovers trust Start2Taste as their go-to partner for expressive, character-driven wines. We think in flavours, not labels. In people, not products. At RAW WINE, we look forward to meeting growers and buyers who share this same energy: those who believe that wine should be alive, transparent, and rooted in the place and hands that created it. Whether you're a producer seeking a committed Belgian partner, or a buyer searching for soulful wines crafted with integrity, you are warmly invited to connect with us. Let’s taste together — and build something authentic for the long term.
