5 Vines Wine, Craft Beer & Spirits

General information

It was around a glowing campfire at the cabin when the idea of a wine store was first discussed. Soon after, we found ourselves gathered around the table at mom and dad’s ranch, shooting business ideas back and forth. Though much like any other Sunday in our family, that night was somehow filled with a more palpable energy. The excited voices carried, often one heard over the next, a bottle of wine, a few bottles of fine craft beer, and our story began to take shape. We were five kids growing up on a ranch north east of Calgary, 5 miles of gravel road to the nearest town. It was there that our strong sense of family was built. Though we have since left that ranch and gone on to pursue our individual passions, family has remained a driving force in our lives. Because of this drive, that conversation around the campfire at the cabin turned into the 5 of us together again. This time, the backdrop was not that of the beautiful Alberta prairie, but a vibrant city wine market in the heart of downtown Calgary.
