Pate International is a San Francisco based creative design company that specializes in wine label design, branding, package and product design, and collateral and marketing materials for the wine and spirits industry. The company carries a stellar reputation that is trusted and respected among wine industry professionals. Pate International earned global recognition in the wine industry, but has maintained strong roots in California, working with sole proprietorships and corporate giants. They designed the branding and packaging for Bill Harlan’s cult wines: Harlan Estate, BOND, Mascot, The Napa Valley Reserve and PROMONTORY. Recent successful campaigns have been launched for Diageo Chateaux, Jackson Family Wines, The PlumpJack Group and Campari’s SKYY Vodka and Appleton Estate.. After winning a design competition sponsored by Moet-Hennessy, they developed Domaine Chandon’s graphics. This lead to the Opus One wine label design project for Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi and continued work for Robert Mondavi Winery, designing virtually everything for the winery and sub-brands. For Mondavi’s joint venture with Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi, Pate International created the Luce wine package. In addition to its wine and spirits clients, Pate International has also worked with numerous high-end hospitality entities, including The Ritz Carlton, Northstar Ski Resort and the Silverado Country Club. In 2009 Pate International expanded its capabilities to include product design with their creation of Apple Park, an eco-friendly children’s company. In addition to the branding, they designed all of the products including toys, backpacks, books, towels and clothing. Apple Park’s toy factory was the first in China to be certified organic and their award winning products are sold internationally in high-end stores. They successfully launched a secondary brand, Organic Farm Buddies by Apple Park, in 2012 which can be found in Whole Foods nationwide.
