Current Projects
We are currently building our indoor and outdoor cooking studios in our vintage barn (built in 1926). We are actively looking for branded sponsors who would like placement in the studio or to assist in the construction.
The Vindulge Wine Marketplace and Club features live-stream tastings in which we talk about our favorite wine and food pairings. We would love to discuss potential complementary opportunities to feature products with our wine club community.
