Flota Mil began with a vision to connect two worlds—from one end of the planet to the other—through international trade and a shared appreciation for wine.
The idea took shape while we were both completing our MBA in Barcelona. Once our studies were finished, we set out to turn that vision into reality. After many conversations and careful planning, we decided to focus on importing and distributing quality wines, with the aim of helping grow wine culture in the Philippines.
With that concept in mind, Flota Mil was born. The name, meaning “Thousand Fleet”, reflects the spirit of exploration at the heart of the company. It was inspired by the historic Manila galleon during the Spanish colonial era, a vital route that once brought goods to the Philippines from afar.
