A five-day schedule of festivities is scheduled for the grand-opening of Wine & Design’s first Tennessee location in Franklin.

The grand-opening celebration begins on June 7 at 6:30 p.m. with complimentary wine, hors d’oeuvres, music and more.

Wine & Design provides a chic, upbeat space for painting classes of all ages and experience levels. There are more than 75 locations in 14 states. Wine & Design provides more than just the wine, but job opportunities to local artists as well as providing a place for masterpieces and memories of any age including children, where no alcohol is involved, just painting capes and snow cones.

After working in chemical engineering for 10 years and human resources for another decade, franchisee Niccole Jackson is excited to start a new artistic endeavor to bond with her 14-year-old daughter. When her daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia, she went on the search for a business that would allow her talents to shine while rooting her home in Tennessee. Not only did Wine & Design give Jackson the opportunity to foster her passion for human resources through the brand’s team building division, it allowed her to connect with her daughter through art. The mother and daughter duo plan to bring people together and bridge generations with the concept’s creative offerings.

Families and friends are invited to join the celebration starting Wednesday, June 7th through Sunday, June 11th packed with themed parties, discounted classes, giveaways and other special offers.
