Sixty Vines

What Sixty Vines does

Sixty Vines is a wine-centric restaurant chain operating 16 company-owned locations across 7 US states (Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, and Washington DC), positioned as a 'winemaker's restaurant' with wine country-inspired cuisine. The company was founded in 2016 in Uptown Dallas and is operated by Front Burner Restaurants, LP, a US limited partnership.

The core differentiator is a 60-wine tap system drawing from sustainable kegs that preserve wine without oxygen exposure, eliminating the 10-45% open-bottle waste typical of traditional by-the-glass programs and saving approximately 1,560 bottles per keg from landfill. The tap program is supplied through partnerships with 30+ premium producers including Tablas Creek, Frog's Leap, DAOU, Paul Hobbs, Round Pond, and Krupp Brothers. Locations range from 9,300 to over 11,000 square feet and feature private dining rooms named after wine regions (Paso, Napa, Rhône, Sonoma), supporting both everyday dining and group events of 10 to 100+ guests.

Revenue is generated primarily through on-premise food and beverage sales (brunch, lunch, dinner), private dining events, and ancillary streams including branded Rosemary Candles, Diffusers, and gift cards sold via Shopify and CardFoundry. Menu pricing places shared plates at $6-$23, mains at $20-$33, pizzas at $16-$18.50, and Happy Hour discounts (Mon-Fri 3-6PM) at $2-$3 off pours and shared plates. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer through owned restaurants and online ordering, with marketing concentrated on the company website, social media, email, and seasonal events like the annual Summer Solstice. The company collaborates with Craftable on back-office AI tooling (Invoice AI, Item AI) for invoice and inventory management, but has no customer-facing AI product.
