Why Five Vines?
We are all about family! When we were trying to brainstorm a name for our wine bar we thought - what is the most important thing to us - our family of 3 boys. From their the name was born - If you look closely to our logo right on the top of each vine is a R, S, D, C & G carved in to represent each one of us. You are always successful when you are surrounded by family!

Welcome!
We started off with a dream - isn’t that were most people start off - lets open up a wine bar that isn’t pretentious, that people can feel comfortable, relax and just eat.drink and be… . Lets support all these family owned and operated winemakers that have been making amazing wine for generations but do not have enough cases for distribution. Lets do it! Then life gets in the way, you have bills to pay, kids to raise, you know what I am talking about- you talk about the dream but reality sets in… then one day you walk by this place for lease and you can feel it - you take a leap of faith and call the number on the door, you talk to your family (because you wouldn’t do it without everyone’s support) your mom says- go for it- I will loan you some money. Five Vines Wine Bar went from a dream to reality with all the love and support of our families.
After 6 months of construction - Suzy’s vision and Randy’s construction skills- yes, we drilled all 685 holes by hand in our wine wall, built the bar, created the lighting, redid the floors, built the benches on our patio, built the kitchen, painted the walls the color of our house, basically we needed to save money so construction was on us. We opened or doors January, 10th 2013 hoping one person would walk in - 6 years later we could not be more honored, grateful and proud. Our family of five has grown into a huge family of guests that have walked through our door, that have become friends then turn into family. We love our historical town of San Juan Capistrano and the people that are in and visit it. We have grown so much during our 6 years with a full-time Chef, a in-house baker, we expanded opening up a special events room to book parties, we have a Wine Club, Beer Club, Book Club and amazing staff who we call our Roots (check out our team page). We feel very lucky to have taken our ‘leap of faith’ and created the space that we feel comfortable, relaxed and can sit back enjoy a boutique wine, a local craft beer, fresh eats and laugh with friends, family and just eat. drink. be….
We hope you will stop in and say “hi” whenever you are in town (we try and keep a Vine in the house). You can enjoy amazing boutique wine that Randy (Vine 1) has hand selected for you or a cold craft beer our ‘Beer Meister Cole (Vine 3) has on his rotating taps or fill up your belly with our tasty fresh social menu Suzy (Vine 2) has created with our Chef. Dylan (Vine 4) might be in there with friends and Grayden (Vine 5) strong chance he is on dish duty.
