Wines, Spirits & Art of Living
A private circle devoted to the transmission of taste, savoir-faire, and the finest pleasures.
Four pillars, one standard of excellence
Private community
A private channel of exchange between members and experts, to cultivate encounters and nourish curiosity every day.
Academy
Monthly webinars led by the finest sommeliers and taste experts, and access to exceptional wines, carefully selected.
Experiences
Exclusive physical events, in exceptional venues, carefully selected for their singularity.
Opportunities
Exclusive allocations, off-market access, and rare selections reserved for circle members, through our partner wine merchants.
An art of living that is transmitted
Arcana Club gathers those who see in refinement far more than a taste: a discipline, a culture, a way of being in the world. We believe that elegance can be learned, that taste is cultivated, and that the finer things deserve to be shared.
From the knowledge of great wines to the mastery of the codes of refinement, from the discovery of exceptional spirits to experiences in confidential venues, every member of the circle enjoys privileged access to a world usually reserved for the initiated.
The circle is not a showcase. It is a discreet and demanding community, where the selection of members guarantees the quality of encounters and exchanges.

Who we are
Arcana Club is a private circle founded by passionate ambassadors of fine wines, spirits, and the art of living. Our mission: to transmit the codes, open the right doors, and grant access to what is usually reserved for a circle of initiates.
Among its principal ambassadors, Louis de Bonnecaze, graduate of the MSc Wine & Spirits Management at KEDGE Business School, a world reference in the sector. A former fine wine trader, he operated internationally — notably in Asia — on some of the world's rarest wines, with exceptional transactions to his name such as a case of Romanée-Conti exceeding €250,000. A pioneer of innovation in the sector, he launched one of the first platforms for purchasing fine wines with cryptocurrency in 2017. He is now CEO and co-founder of InterCellar.
InterCellar, our partner wine merchant
To guarantee exceptional sourcing, Arcana Club partners with InterCellar, a next-generation merchant specialising in fine wines and rare spirits. Through a more agile, digital, and access-oriented approach, InterCellar collaborates with some of the greatest estates and market players to open opportunities often inaccessible to the general public.
The company has raised over €3 million from investors including the Partouche Group, The Sandbox, SwissBorg, the founders of Ledger, and several major wine estates, with a clear ambition: to modernise access, distribution, and the collection of exceptional assets.

Tim, Managing Director of InterCellar
With more than 18 years of experience in the world of fine wines, Tim has a comprehensive, strategic view of the wine industry. His unique and complete background, spanning first-rate négoce, wine brokerage and time within a prestigious estate on the clay plateau of Pomerol, allows him to grasp every dimension of the market with rare, cross-cutting insight.
Today a member of the InterCellar team as Managing Director, Tim plays a key role in the club's development by identifying and negotiating exclusive opportunities for its members: rare allocations, private experiences, strategic partnerships and privileged access to the greatest estates.
Passionate about terroir, fine wines and human relationships, he has built recognised expertise in Grand Cru trading, transactions between châteaux and merchants, as well as business development and wine tourism. Tim was entrusted with InterCellar's commercial leadership thanks to an approach that is at once precise, dynamic and deeply rooted in wine culture.
