Muto is a family affair, started by me, Waldo, together with my wife Ally, and my parents, Connie and Chris. My journey into wine began in retail, while I was studying Graphic Design. What started as a side gig turned into a decade in the wine industry—but the urge to create something of my own never left.
It all began in our suburban garage, making small batches and processing just a little more fruit each year. In 2019, that dream took root when we bought our farm and converted the old shed into the winery we call home today.
Muto is powered by a small but mighty team. Ally brings a sharp creative eye and years of experience in visual merchandising and marketing—she’s the one behind our socials, admin, and keeping us focused (and in our lane). Connie, a trained nurse and lifelong creative, is our green thumb and tractor pro—she tends the gardens, vineyard, and keeps the property running smoothly. Chris is the resident problem-solver and engineer, always tinkering, building, and making sure things actually work (often on a shoestring). And me? I’m in the cellar blending wines, dreaming up labels, designing packaging, or out on the road sharing our wines with people around the country. Basically, juggling all the fun stuff—doing what I love, with the people I love. Plus, of course, our cats Bibi & Buttons, who keep an eye on things.
