Vie & vin IN THE COMMUNITY
One of the foundational pillars of our business is giving back to our communities. We are excited to grow our impact as we grow Vie & Vin!
HOW WE GIVE BACK
“You can do good and do well at the same time”
This is a belief that we’re building Vie & Vin upon – the idea that we can create a business that supports our family and allows us to make a positive impact in our community.
Each quarter, a portion of the proceeds from our Featured Wines are donated to a non-profit organization working in one of these key areas. You can learn more about our community partners below!
We are also constantly seeking new ways to get involved and support our community. If you have any questions about Vie & Vin’s community involvement, please email us at hello@vieandvin.com.
