Our Story
Our shared passion for enriching life with friends, culture, great food, and wine inspired the founding of Eleven Eleven. As friends, we envisioned creating a brand that celebrates the everyday moments that make life extraordinary.
We invite you to celebrate with us,
Ellie Carol Aurelien
Founders
Ellie Anest, Carol Vassilliadis, Aurelien Roulin
Ellie Anest and Aurelien Roulin met in circumstances that in hindsight seem fated: onboard an international flight. Their in-flight conversation sparked an immediate connection, highlighting a shared entrepreneurial spirit and aspirations. Over time and many more conversations about work, life, and dreams, a lifelong friendship grew. Not sure what or when, they were certain that they would create something special together.
As the Eleven Eleven vision came into focus, Ellie’s lifelong friend, Carol Vassiliadis, joined the team to offer her expertise and support. Not only is Carol’s business acumen a logistical asset, her sharp aesthetic and eye for artful detail has given Eleven Eleven a particular polish and poise. In her support of many philanthropic endeavors, and personal passions, Carol understands the complexities of merging business with pleasure – making Eleven Eleven as much a hospitality experience as it is a wine experience.
These three founding partners brought the Eleven Eleven Winery to life in 2014.
