VINE Quality Hospitality Group is raising standards for service, food and drinks to international gourmet expectations and is emerging as the primary full-service quality hospitality company in the country. Established in 2003, the group’s main business activities include restaurants, catering and events management as well as wine, beverage, Cuban cigar, and hospitality accessory importation and distribution. The group also assists many start-up hospitality ventures with training and acts as a 3rd party logistics provider.

VINE Group is comprised of several Hanoi properties including Vietnam’s first bona fide wine destination, the VINE Wine Boutique Bar & Café with a flourishing delivery and outside catering business. The group also runs the retail store VINE Cellar, and the VINE Annex event space. In HCMC, VINE Group continues to grow in the wine and accessory distribution business, and its properties include Casa Habana Cigar Shop at the Park Hyatt Saigon Hotel Lobby and soon to be VINE Wine Boutique & Wine Bar in 2008.

VINE has established a substantial catering and events management business in Hanoi for high-end tourists, expatriates, corporations and private, high net worth Vietnamese clients. When the government needed catering for the APEC functions VINE was called in to provide its esteemed, ISO 22000 food safety standardized service and fine food for 1,000 VIPs at the APEC Leaders summit and 350 CEOs at the APEC CEO conference. For its efforts VINE received hundreds of grateful guest comments and recognition from the Ministries responsible for hosting the international delegates.

As the tourism and hospitality sector continues to flourish in Vietnam, with projections over the next five years of over 100 new golf courses, 2,500 new restaurants and more than 400 new 4 and 5-star hotels, VINE Group is positioning itself to benefit from this marked growth throughout Vietnam and the region.

Within its activities, VINE Group also offers educational programs for its staff and customers, involving seminars, wine tastings and community service. Frequent international cultural activities and menus, including a year round program of cigar, food and wine events are also featured.
