About us:
At Field & Vine, we believe in local food systems, we believe in regenerative agriculture, we believe in sourcing food mindfully with local farmers who care deeply about the land and their connection to it. All our wines are chosen to mimic that same philosophy; they are created by small producers who are dedicated to organic/biodynamic farming and minimal intervention in the cellar. They are of a time and place.
We also believe in cultivating lasting relationships with our team. We believe in sustainability on the plate and in the glass, but also in the kitchen and on the floor. It is important for our team to always feel supported, elevated, and appreciated. We do not believe in toxic restaurant behavior and aim for our restaurant to reflect these values.
