Why it Works and why venues trust Little vines
Many wineries welcome families.
Far fewer are intentionally designed for them.
For parents of young children — especially children who are autistic, sensory-sensitive, highly active, anxious, or simply need more structure — “family friendly” can still mean spending the entire visit managing boredom, overwhelm, or behavior.

Many wineries welcome families.

For parents of young children — especially children who are autistic, sensory-sensitive, highly active, anxious, or simply need more structure — “family friendly” can still mean spending the entire visit managing boredom, overwhelm, or behavior.
Little Vines helps close that gap.
We create a small, inviting children’s experience within your existing winery environment so families can enjoy the property together.
No playground required.
No permanent build-out.
No need to become a childcare provider.
Just a more thoughtful way to welcome the families already walking through your doors.
Little Vines helps venues:
– Create a more relaxed experience for parents
– Offer a more intentional and inclusive family atmosphere
– Encourage longer visits and repeat attendance
– Provide c nclusive family experiences without building it from scratch
Why venues trust Little Vines
Little Vines is led by Franchesca Kelly, a Registered Behavior Technician with nearly a decade of pediatric specialization, ASCP certification, California LiveScan clearance, $1M/$2M liability insurance, and published work in Contemporary Pediatrics and ASCP Critical Values.
