Virago Vino

Virago Vino is a branding for a modern wine and tapas bar rooted in strength, warmth, and feminine energy. The name is drawn from the Latin virāgō, meaning “female warrior” inspired a brand identity that’s bold, elegant, and full of character.

We imagined Virago Vino as a local haunt in the heart of Cork, a place where small plates, full pours, and big personalities come together. Our design approach combined earthy textures, confident typography, and a rich, grounded palette to create a space that feels both refined and rebellious.
