Vigorous Brothers | Recruitment Opportunities

Looking for talented wine people to join the Melbourne and Sydney teams.

Vigorous Brothers is a dynamic wine distributor with a focus on the next generation of winemakers in Australia, and beyond. While we are a young company, we were born out a partnership with Fesq & Company, the oldest wine distribution company in Australia, now owned and managed by the 5th and 6th generation of the Fesq family.

We were born from the idea that the wine landscape in Australia has evolved rapidly over the past 5-10 years, and there has been an explosion of new producers and wine styles which have altered the market dramatically. While Fesq & Company is a firmly established distributor of more recognised family owned wineries, we saw a gap in the market for a new generation of wines to take hold.

Established two years ago in NSW, Vigorous Brothers has quickly grown and developed a sought after portfolio of producers whom we represent. Now moving into Victoria, we are merging with Firebrand Wine, and joining their portfolio into Vigorous Brothers.
