Surely started as a project between friends to give people a sophisticated option when they were deciding not to drink alcohol - whatever the reason. Our mission is to create the best of both worlds - craft great tasting wines that don’t compromise your health. We work with a talented team of winemakers and source our grapes from premium California regions. Our winemaking process starts with alcoholic wine that we delicately remove the alcohol from. Once the wine is dealcoholized we blend in small amounts of juice to elevate the aromatics and round out the palette. The end result is a beautifully balanced wine that fits any lifestyle.

The cornerstone of human nutrition is protein, and the KOS mission begins there. We produce a vegan, plant-based protein additive. This is a proprietary formulation we mix in small, artisanal batches in our own lab. You won’t find KOS in your local grocery hangar, huge plastic tubs of weird powder stacked into impulse-buy pyramids. We want to get personal, have a conversation. We offer a small-batch, boutique, totally plant-based protein product made out of the good stuff that springs from the soil. Transparent ingredients transparently sourced. Our mad scientists are farmers. KOS Naturals, LLC

We are a purpose-based company. We formulated and made our products over a 2-year window. In that time we knew we had to support Military charities. Some retired Military Veterinarians helped us both in our product development as well as pointing us to an area of greatest need – Military Working Dogs. These Military Working Dogs embody the same sense of loyalty of Service Members and in fact, are Veterans themselves. Yet, they have many needs as they serve. Sometimes, they require special care. To this end, Operation Good Boy provides unrestricted funds to these Military Working Dog Charities.
