Find Out What's In Store at Andrea Folino Botique & Sangria Bar
Owner Andrea Folino says that even at a young age, she preferred shoes over toys. “I have always had a deep love of fashion and it has been a lifelong dream of mine to run my own boutique,” she shares. Through her time as co-owner of Folino Estate Winery, Vintner’s Table and Vintner’s Inn, she has always injected that love of style, fashion and interior design into the brands. “People would ask me about where I got my outfits, which led me to introduce curated pieces into Folino Estate’s Bottle Shop. Each time I would do this, the reception was positive and the collection would often sell out,” she says. “Launching this boutique was a natural progression and a personal dream come true.” Folino describes the shop as a love letter to all the things she is passionate about. Shoppers can find carefully curated capsule collections, gifts, mix-your-own sangria and even fresh flowers for sale. “Looking ahead, our goals for the store include expanding our reach through e-commerce and fulfilling my other dream of launching my own clothing line,” she says. “Our main goal with Folino Estate and all of our hospitality brands centers around creating memories that last a lifetime. The Boutique and Sangria Bar is my own special way to focus on that goal, and to provide a space where people feel a sense of connection and happiness.”
