US. Market

The American Market requires individualized marketing strategies to serve our growing customer base.  Valckenberg International has combined the 100% full time focus of 3 strategically located employees with the hands on regional coverage of 13 brokers who manage geographically specific areas.  These sixteen German Wine Ambassadors do the everyday explaining, tasting and promoting that our beautiful wines demand. 

We call ourselves, “The Riesling Source”, because we are completely focused and committed to German Wines at the exclusion of all others.  Riesling is synonymous with Germany even though other grape varieties most surely grow here.  More than any other wine category German wine needs to be frequently refreshed in the minds of our customers. Our nationwide regional coverage insures, like the acidity in our wines that we are constantly in the wine glas of our customers.

The US Administrative office is centrally located in Tulsa, Oklahoma to accommodate the 9 American -standard time zones, and simultaneously provide a window for German contact with our operations.  This allows our nationwide customers the largest possible time availability to contact us for questions and answers on orders, shipping, up to the minute inventories, POS, and label approvals. 

Valckenberg International maintains two US warehouse inventories, Groskopf in California and Western in New Jersey to better service and expedite goods to our thirsty customers.  We run monthly containers to keep highly demanded wines constantly in stock without the delays of shipping and to accommodate the more specialized requests of our many distributors.  Our distributors are invited to have any small or large size orders consolidated into our regular DI shipments if orders are received before the 10th of the month.
