Crafting the perfect puzzle is a true labor of love that we do not take lightly. Our team of sommeliers and illustrators work hand-in-hand, with each puzzle being carefully created and reviewed to ensure that it's beautiful to look at, a joy to build, and an educational experience that you'll never forget.
Made with love by sommeliers
The puzzle-making process starts with extensive research, fact-checking, and cross-referencing. We spend countless hours selecting the most relevant and interesting information, while reviewing all the elements with expert sommeliers and local colleagues. With limited space, we focus on the details that we feel will be of most interest to every wine lover. Our goal is not to provide encyclopedic knowledge, but rather to spark curiosity and encourage learning. We take pride in the accuracy and quality of our puzzles, and we pour our hearts into making beautiful and informative puzzles that will stimulate your senses.
Hand-illustrated by artists
Next, our talented artists get to work on hand illustrating each region, bringing the delicate details to life. We play with color and scale to challenge your visual mind as you build the puzzle. No dull or blank pieces in our world! We carefully layer geography, history, and wine knowledge into the design, hiding fun and interesting facts for you to discover. For example, did you know that Californian vineyards are using falcons to scare off pesky grape-eating birds? Look for the falcon in our Californian puzzle and see if you can spot other cool facts hidden in the illustration. Our puzzles are more than just fun to build, they're a journey through winding roads, historic landmarks, and unique flora and fauna.
Earth-friendly commitment
We put a lot of love and care into our puzzles, but we're equally passionate about the planet. That's why our puzzles are locally produced with earth-friendly materials, ensuring that they're of the highest quality for you to enjoy for years to come. Our materials are locally sourced and all recyclable, and our puzzles are made in compliance with the toughest environmental standards. We're proud to be female-led and committed to giving back to the planet. For every puzzle sold, we plant one tree and make a donation to improve global access to safe drinking water. So, when you buy one of our puzzles, you're not only treating yourself to hours of fun, but also helping to make the world a better place.
In the end, they are more than just puzzles, but an invitation to explore the world of wine and spirits in a fun and engaging way. They're made with love and care by sommeliers and artists who pour their hearts into every detail. So go ahead, grab a glass of your favorite vino, cozy up with one of our puzzles, and let the journey begin! Cheers to you, wine explorer!

Another beautiful puzzle completed. I learned a lot from this one too as I’m not a big beer person. I had no idea you could pair it with food! Another excuse to eat more cheese. Fun and educational.
I used to live in Germany, so enjoyed the reminder of places I used to visit. It was one of the trickier ones I’ve done because so many of the wines had the same names so I enjoyed the challenge. Beautifully illustrated as always with some interestingly shaped jigsaw pieces.
Being originally from Scotland, I greatly enjoyed completing this puzzle. It even inspired me to partake of a wee celebratory dram once completed. This puzzle challenged me at the end and I had to rely on the shapes of the pieces to finish the border. Fabulous.
I live in the state with the best wine regions in Australia (South Australia of course), so this puzzle was close to my heart. I loved the vibrant colours and the art work, including some of our beautiful native animals.
I loved the puzzle. After I ordered it, I got an email to explain that the puzzles were created in a small business in Stockholm. I was even more pleased to have bought it knowing that. I love the creativity of the design and to me, it is just the right level of difficulty. The puzzle came with a poster as well as the lid picture with a stand which helped me solve the puzzle. I am now inspired to buy more puzzles as gifts for others and treats for myself. 😊
We love doing puzzles but Water and Wines has completely spoilt us for any other puzzle!!! The colour and content, the perfect fit of the pieces are not found in other puzzles.
We puzzle them out together so when I gave ‘Italy’ to my husband for our 42nd wedding anniversary it was the perfect gift as there is a lovely picture of the puzzle on the box lid for him as well as a full size picture on quality paper for me!! The Grandkids enjoy giving us a hand, looking for corners and border pieces and we love learning about the places and wine varieties and regions. We have been serious jigsaw puzzlers for more than ten years. I was given ‘Champagne’ and ‘France’ for my birthday last year so I can honestly say the quality and JOY of Water and Wines is unsurpassed!!
Just finished the Spain Puzzle. I learned a lot about Spanish wine while having fun with the puzzle. Good quality pieces - look forward to doing it again next year.
What a great puzzle! We loved learning the information on coffee in Italy and throughout Europe. I love the look and feel of these puzzles and treasure all of the ones that we currently have.
It was a fun puzzle to do. Love all of the colors so this made the puzzle a little easier and I really liked that. The only con was some of the puzzle pieces were coming off so that was a little disappointing with the price point but regardless I’m looking forward of doing another one of these puzzles.

I loved doing this puzzle. A bit different from the alcohol puzzles, the artistry was beautiful and it was just the right level of challenge. Certainly not easy but not frustrating. One af your best and one of my favorites!
I truly enjoy all of the puzzles! I like the rubber pieces and all the good information in the designs!! Also they are all very colorful and beautifully done!
I love the water and wine puzzles, especially the art work, how easily and smartly the pieces snap in place and the satiny finish. I have purchased every one and built each one in under two days. I framed several of them and hung them in my wine cellar.
Loved this puzzle...The puzzle comes with a fully illustrated box..both inside and out...and a poster. One of the signs of a well make puzzle is that the supplied poster colors are exactly the same as the puzzle piece. On all there Water and Wine puzzles you can be sure the colors of the poster and puzzle pieces match. Another plus is the quality of the paper used for the puzzle. The paper is soft to the touch and is absolutely pleasing to hold. So many things to love about this puzzle...
I loved the Ireland puzzle (having Irish ancestors), as I’ve loved all of the puzzles from your company. This one was a bit more difficult, as were the Scotland and beer puzzles. It was good to learn about the different types of whiskies and the ingredients in them. I’ve very much enjoyed and learned from all of puzzles — and want more!
Love the quality and the information provided for the wines. The flavor notes such as the images and icons are amazing. I love how you tied it to the periodic table and the graphic images of say the Fennel and cardamom seeds and flowers. It really helps to describe the flavor. I also have your California wine puzzle which is also great.
I see you have a coffee puzzle now. I am putting in a request for a loose leaf tea puzzle (Camillia sinensis and herbal) puzzle like the product table for wines. I would be your biggest fan!!
The quality of your puzzles are great. I have to share that as soon as I opened the Periodic Table of Wine puzzle, I spilled tea over a few pieces. They even survived. Well, I did ruin a piece or two and was so upset but it ended up being ok. I guess it adds character.
Not a puzzler, but I go on these food and wine trips and doing this puzzle is the absolute, most PERFECT way for me to learn the geography and the names of the wines. I already plan to purchase Spain and Italy!
These puzzles are the best. They are educational and fun. Besides the puzzle being imprinted on cover of the box you get an actual printout of the puzzle so you can work with it. The customer service is great. I incorrectly order a puzzle I had done and contacted them; they immediately let me send in and exchange it for another.
I highly recommend these puzzles.
This is a beautiful puzzle! The imagery is lovely, content is fun, and quality of the pieces and surface are really nice. I would love to do every puzzle they have to offer!
