There are so many things that are taken into consideration when opening a winery, brewery or restaurant: like choosing the right location, selecting the staff, the menu and produce, marketing and more. Choosing the sofa for the setting around the fireplace and selecting the chairs and tables to host your customers is often an afterthought. Yet it is of the utmost importance!

Your menu tells a story! Customers are entering your world to sample your fine wines or food.
