A
fter a successful corporate career of more than 20 years building
results driven teams for some of the world’s largest
companies, our founder, Lynn Mione, set out to
create the ultimate wine experience. Her mission from
the very beginning was to create a fun and dynamic
business model which kept the attitude out of wine
drinking. After opening the first location in 2010,
Lynn saw the response from her customers and
realized that there was a demand for The Vine Wine
Bar outside of the greater New York region. That
prompted her to continue to refine and develop
the great systems and branding which would be
required to expand across the United States.
T
oday, the business is in a prime position for
franchisees to learn, train, and develop The
Vine Wine Bar in local communities around
the country.
