Training and support from our corporate team start the second you sign the franchise agreement. From helping you secure your studio location, to the planning your grand opening.

Absolutely! Our marketing team is in touch with you as soon as you to sign the franchise agreement.

The first step towards opening your own Wine & Design studio is to submit an inquiry form. Once we review your information and feel you would be a good fit for Wine & Design, our Franchise Sales Manager will be in touch to schedule a call to discuss territory, financials and answer any questions you might have.

This can vary. From signing the franchise agreement to opening your doors it is typically 6-8 months. This range due to a few factors: signing your lease and buildout, and if your state requires that you have a license to serve and sell alcohol. If you are in a state that BYOB is permitted, then you’re looking at a shorter timeline versus a state that you have to obtain the license. The approval timeline for the alcohol license varies by state.

Discovery Day is one of our favorite parts throughout the process! During Discovery Day you get the opportunity to meet our amazing team at our corporate headquarters in Raleigh, NC. We also will review the franchise agreement and answer any questions you might have to make sure you feel comfortable moving forward with executing the franchise agreement. This is also a great opportunity for you to visit Wine & Design sister studios in the area, meet the owners, and take a class to get the full Wine & Design experience..
