Our Story
Trinidad & Tobago's Original Tropical Vineyard
Founded on the belief that the Caribbean's own fruit deserved a place in fine winemaking, V'Toria Rhonda Vineyard & Winery blends exotic tropical fruits with classic grape varietals to create wines you won't find anywhere else. Every bottle is produced in small batches on our Rio Claro estate, in partnership with the Cocoa Research Centre at UWI St. Augustine for our chocolate wine bar line.
- First passion-fruit vineyard & winery in the Caribbean
- Multiple international wine competition medals
- Six signature blends across wine, jelly and chocolate bar lines
Where the Name Comes From
These initials — V.R. — are lifted straight from a letter our founder's grandmother, Victoria Richardson, once signed. They've been on every label we've printed since.

What the Judges Say
Recognised on the international stage as the first passion-fruit vineyard & winery in the Caribbean.
Remember Me — Gold Medal
Aromas of cola and fruit candy on the nose; a palate of citrus, apple pie and brown sugar, layered with candied ginger, honeycomb and apple cider.
USA Wine Ratings, 2021
Just Perception — Silver Medal
A lusciously sweet and spicy red with a delightful strawberry-licorice character — a charming aperitif or paired with light fruit desserts.
USA Wine Ratings, 2021
True Passion — Judges' Selection
Intensely tropical and fascinating — paired beautifully with grilled shrimp and papaya salad.
Sommeliers Choice AwardsTestimonials
Loved by Guests & Trade Partners
“The Remember Me wine is unlike anything I've had — bold orange and muscat, beautifully balanced. It's no surprise it won gold. This is our go-to bottle for every celebration now.”
“As a distributor, I look for wines with a real story and real quality. True Passion delivers both — that passion fruit and Sauvignon Blanc pairing is genuinely unique on the shelf.”
“Gifted the Love Affair wine jelly at a dinner party and it was gone in minutes. Sorrel and Malbec, spooned over brie — nobody had tasted anything like it.”
