Veeno have acquired a unit in the One New Change retail centre, St Paul’s, which opens on Wednesday 22nd November, with a VIP launch. St Paul’s will be the 17th venue in the group, following recently opening in Kingston upon Thames.
Speaking to co-founders Nino Caruso & Andrea Zecchino they said “We are extremely excited to open our first franchised site in central London and this is just the beginning of further expansion ahead in the next 12 months. We believe that this location is the perfect venue to bring our authentic Italian offering to Central London and we wish every success to the franchise owner Alex.”
Veeno champions Italy’s after-work culture of drinking, nibbling and relaxing, and specialises in family grown Sicilian wine alongside authentic Spuntini including platters of meats, cheese and other appetisers imported from selected quality Italian producers.
The story began for the company’s co-founders Nino Caruso & Andrea Zecchino in 2013 when they met playing a game of football in Manchester, both missed the Italian aperitivo culture of drinking, nibbling and relaxing after work. By the end of the year they had opened their first wine café, and the rest is history or “Il resto e’ storia” as they say in Italy!
Veeno source their wine from Nino’s family vineyard in Marsala, Sicily, where the Caruso family have been growing vines since the 19th century. Having such a close relationship between the vineyard and the wine cafés means that only the best quality wines make it from grape to glass.
Veeno will open its doors at One New Change at 5pm on Wednesday 22nd November and are inviting members of the public to join them for the opportunity to sample it’s authentic Italian spuntini and a complimentary glass of wine by visiting www.theveenocompany.com and joining the guest list.
