Laurent Vernhes is the founder of Maison Vernhes Alliance (MVA), a wine community built around discovery, craft, and shared curiosity. He previously founded Tablet Hotels, a platform that brought together a global community of travelers to uncover distinctive, independently minded hotels, which was later acquired by the Michelin Guide.

After years of discovering small producers and seeing how quickly great wines become widely known, Vernhes founded MVA to create a different model. One rooted in ongoing discovery rather than established labels. From Maison Vernhes in Tuscany, he leads a process of blind tasting and collaborative selection, bringing together winemakers and members to shape each collection.

His work focuses on finding what is still overlooked, and building communities around it.
