Vintage Bookstore & Wine Bar

To anyone who totes their books to bars, parks, restaurants, bus stations, and everywhere in between, this story is for you. Opening an independent bookstore may seem like an odd childhood dream, but it is one Jean nurtured for most of her life (despite growing up in the era of Amazon and big-box retailers). Until a few years ago, the only news headlines surrounding the indy bookstore business was the rapid rate at which they were declining. Despite this, Jean’s dream endured, and when fate landed her in Austin, she knew this was where she would make her dream a reality. Fortunately for her, some of the many joys of settling in Austin were the sights, sounds, and cultures of the Texas Hill Country. Jean could often be found reading books at her favorite wineries while learning about the quality, character, and tenacity of Texas vintners. It didn't take long before she had a realization at one of these picturesque Hill Country properties. Why not combine the two things she loved so much and that naturally went so well together? And thus Vintage was born. The seed that was planted and nurtured in the heart of a young book lover found a home in the rich culture of Austin, Texas and blossomed into the area’s first independent bookstore and wine bar. You're likely to find Jean behind the bar on any given day, so swing on by and say hello!
