I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Luke Hemsley, founder of Wednesday's Domaine, for this week’s episode of Tables to Talk About. Luke’s story is one I’ve admired for a while – an entrepreneur with a passion for creating not just a product, but a full-on experience. He noticed the rise of alcohol-free options in beer and spirits but realised wine drinkers were left wanting more. Enter Wednesday’s Domaine: a beautifully branded, alcohol-free wine that’s perfect for those midweek moments when you want to unwind without the buzz. This is Luke’s first venture into the drinks world, but he’s no stranger to startups. We chatted all about the ups and downs of building something from scratch, and his dedication to delivering something truly special for his customers, plus his dream dinner party, of course!
