Since 2018, the female-founded House of Saka has dedicated its 70+ collective years of experience in the beverage industry to build the world’s first and only alcohol-removed, cannabis-infused beverage company to feature Napa Valley wines.
While the innovation and creativity may be apparent to some, creating a wine-inspired, cannabis-infused elixir without the unwanted impacts of alcohol wasn’t easy. It required a unique blend of knowledge and passion. “We leverage our collective beverage experience, our luxurious Napa Valley provenance and our passion for innovation to create great tasting beverages that can truly bridge wine and cannabis occasions in an elegant way,” says co-founder and CEO, Tracey Mason.
Mason and her team know that taste and experience matter and House of Saka’s THC:CBD-infused options check both of those boxes. Mason shares that they were intentional with House of Saka, making the decision to enter the cannabis beverage space after decades in the wine industry so they can meet consumers where they are. “If you’re cannabis-curious and want to understand what it’s like, having a form factor that is both discrete and familiar made a lot of sense,” she says.
The brand’s flagship offerings—Saka Pink, made from Napa Valley rose of pinot noir and cabernet and Saka White, made from barrel-aged Napa Valley chardonnay—have already carved out a unique luxury position in the rapidly growing beverage sector. But the innovation doesn’t stop there.
In June of this year, the company launched its first single-serve option, Saka Spark Mimosa. By combining premium alcohol-removed sparkling chardonnay with a Mimosa strain-specific live resin emulsion and natural essence of orange blossom and tangerine, the brand is shaking up the cannabis industry while deliciously living up to its namesake.
