What is a Society Wine Bar Franchise?
Turn your passion for wine into the opportunity of a lifetime
Society Wine Bar is a low-cost wine bar franchise investment with four distinct revenue streams. We are looking for passionate entrepreneurs who love wine and want to bring a unique wine bar experience to their communities.
Most wine bars are restaurants with a limited wine list of 20 to 30 wines — some red, some white and some sparkling. These run-of-the-mill selections quickly get old. Consumers are also often limited in their knowledge about wine, many times lacking the education to make choices or finding the wine selection process to be intimidating. Society Wine Bar offers a unique 200 wines by the glass, one of the most extensive wine menus in the country, and a level of expertise from certified staff that is unmatched.
At Society Wine Bar we are in the business of knowing wine. We believe wine doesn’t have to be pretentious. There’s a specific wine for everyone, and every occasion and our mission is to help customers along their wine journey.
“As society has changed so has wine drinking, and Society Wine Bar is a part of the bridge that goes over that gap,” says Lori Rodriguez, a sommelier at the Ybor City Wine Bar.

Society Wine Bar meets America’s growing demand for wine
Americans consume nearly 100 million gallons of wine annually, and the future of wine has no limits. A Society Wine Bar franchise is positioned to take advantage of this need by offering a unique, memorable wine experience.
Society Wine Bar was created to satisfy the demand for unusual wine varietals and wine education for people wherever they may be on their life journey. Our highly knowledgeable staff is passionate about wine and the story behind each wine label, from the vintner to the vineyard. Experienced wine lovers value our staff’s in-depth knowledge of vintners and vineyards and our extensive inventory of unique and hard to find wines.
“Wine is art in a glass, and we are extremely passionate about extending the culture of wine to wine lovers nationwide through Society Wine Bar,” Jayme says. “Our wine bar is not pretentious, and our staff members are all certified wine experts who are happy to share that knowledge with our guests. We have every price point and every palate covered. Our staff serves as your wine matchmaker. They know the story about the winemaker, how the grapes grow for a particular varietal of wine and more. We don’t just pour you a glass of wine; we are the glass of wine.”
