About Curiada
Curiada is a new craft and artisan spirits marketplace that helps people discover, explore, and enjoy unique and hard-to-find spirits. Our excellent spirits are delivered directly to your door in numerous locations across the United States.
Curiada supports small, independent, and up-and-coming distillers, producers, and artisans. Our platform helps them tell their stories and get their bottles into the hands of more people in more places.
Curiada curates collections of craft spirits that are refreshed on a continual basis. Consumers are provided with an easy way to discover and enjoy these boutique, previously inaccessible brands. And small suppliers take center stage on our craft-only platform where they can captivate eager, cocktail-loving fans.
Curiada opened its virtual doors in June 2020. We currently work with 250+ craft spirit suppliers. We confer orders to a group of licensed retailers who deliver across many different US localities.

FAQ
How do you select the spirits featured on Curiada?
When deciding which new spirits to add to the Curiada portfolio we take into account a combination of factors: expert opinions, supplier reputation, awards and accolades, ratings, unbiased reviews, and customer requests. In every case, each bottle is first tasted by an expert in that spirit category who assesses it fairly and honestly to ensure quality. Brands featured on Curiada do not pay for placement.
What makes Curiada different from other spirits outlets online?
Curiada's ethos is all about discovery and exploration. For us, discovery happens on the first page - rather than being forced into the endless scroll. Other sites make it very difficult to surface new, interesting, and off-the-beaten-path spirits, or they put their thumb on the scale by only sharing brands that financially incentivize them to do so. We're different in that we select brands based on quality first, and then we work alongside the supplier to tell a compelling story about their products to excite consumers.
What motivates a supplier to work with Curiada?
First, our audience is made up of highly engaged craft spirits enthusiasts. Naturally curious and open, they enjoy exploring the wide world of spirits. Further, they know what makes a high-quality product and they want to be the first to share a new find with their friends. It's the kind of audience most craft spirit suppliers are seeking. Second, on Curiada, craft suppliers are in good company. They know that they will always be featured next to brands that are similar to their own: premium and artisan. Last, because of our retail partnerships, we have the capacity to serve customers in 25 states, which means the normally arduous process of building a brand city by city, state by state has just become much more streamlined. This is of tremendous value for an entrepreneur with limited time and resources!
Where does the name Curiada comes from?
Curiada is a (made-up!) portmanteau of the word "curiosity" and the word "curadoria," which is Portuguese for curation. We pronounce it: /kjʊr/-/i/-/ɑd/-/ə/ (cure-ee-odd-uh).
