Vine Arts Wine & Spirits
Located at the heart of the 17th Ave Retail & Entertainment District, this location of Vine Arts expands on their first location with sprawling shelves full of their exceptional inventory lining every wall. The open space invites you to take your time to browse the shelves, perhaps sipping on a taster after visiting the tasting bar. The back bar features an ever increasing inventory of bitters and cocktail accoutrements. A customized growler fill station was also included to satisfy the growing demand for local beers. Vine Arts strives to offer an approachable and friendly environment to shop in so natural materials like natural wood, brick and steel were selected to compliment the casual style they were aiming to achieve. The client wished to pay homage to the previous, longstanding tenant of the space, Megatunes, and had artist Lee Nielsen create murals inspired by favourite rock albums.

We like our retail spaces to be very warm and inviting places where one can spend a long time comfortably shopping. Sarah’s choices for lighting, material, and layout made for a shopping experience that does not exist anywhere else in the retail liquor market in this country. The store feels like a well curated library of exceptional product and that feeling is largely in part to Sarah’s choices for the space.”
