Little Vines™
Sensory-aware vineyard experiences for neurodivergent children and their families.
Gentle, small-group gatherings designed so children can explore, parents can exhale, and families can feel welcome in beautiful places.
Why Little Vines Exists
You’ve been waiting for this afternoon.
You know the one. Where your child is genuinely happy, genuinely safe, and genuinely understood — and you get to just… be. No scanning the room. No apologizing. No leaving early.
Little Vines CA was built for your family. Not adapted for it. Not tolerating it. Built for it — from the ground up, by someone who has spent nearly a decade learning exactly how your child experiences the world.
Little Vines™ was created to offer something softer: sensory-aware vineyard experiences with gentle pacing, flexible participation, child-led exploration, and space for the whole family to breathe.
What to Expect
Small Gatherings
Every Little Vines CA session is intentionally small — just five families — held outdoors at a beautiful California winery. Your child moves through a gently structured experience designed around their sensory needs, their pace, and their way of engaging with the world.
While they play, you settle into a picnic blanket nearby with a glass of wine. Close enough to see them thriving. Far enough to actually relax.
The experience includes:
A personalized welcome basket and visual schedule on arrival, sensory bins, edible play stations, musical exploration, bubbles in the vineyard, a nature scavenger hunt, chalk art, a quiet retreat space available throughout, and a gentle goodbye ritual to close.
Every activity has been thoughtfully designed — including fully edible alternatives for children who explore with their mouths. Nothing is an afterthought here.
Sensory-Aware Activities
Nature-based play, bubbles, scavenger hunts, art, quiet options, and flexible engagement.
Parent-Onsite Model
This is not drop-off childcare. Parents remain nearby while children explore in a supported space.
Quiet Retreat Space
A calming area for breaks, regulation, and no-pressure participation.
No Apologies Needed
Meltdowns, movement, scripting, stimming, hesitation, and big feelings are understood here.
About
Hi. I built this for your family.
I’m Franchesca Kelly — a Registered Behavior Technician with nearly a decade of pediatric specialization, an ASCP-certified phlebotomist, and the founder of Poke Pals Kids, a pediatric phlebotomy initiative built around one core belief: that how we approach a child matters as much as what we do.
I’ve spent years sitting with neurodivergent children in the hardest moments — needle sticks, waiting rooms, fluorescent lights, sensory overload. I know what it costs your child to navigate a world that wasn’t designed for them. And I know what it costs you to watch.
Little Vines CA is my answer to that. An afternoon in wine country that was designed entirely around your child’s way of experiencing the world — and around your need to finally, genuinely rest.
Your family deserves beautiful things too. I mean that.
Winery Partners
The families your vineyard has been waiting for.
Little Vines CA brings something most wineries have never been able to offer — a genuinely welcoming afternoon for families who rarely get one. Five families, two hours, every detail managed by a credentialed specialist. Your outdoor space becomes the backdrop for something beautiful. Your wine becomes part of a memory these parents will talk about for years.
Zero operational burden. Powerful word of mouth. Families who linger, spend, and return.
If you’d like to host a Little Vines CA session at your vineyard, let’s talk.
Little Vines™ is seeking warm, community-minded vineyard partners in the Gilroy, Morgan Hill, and South Bay areas.
