The Good Pour Winter Park Grand Opening

Aug 11

There are few things we enjoy more than making a spectacular debut in a new location. This August, we celebrated the grand opening of The Good Pour Winter Park, and it was a true testament to what our brand is all about: community, celebration and purpose. We were absolutely thrilled to support our incredible franchise partners, Vassilis & Katerina Coumbaros, in making their official debut a resounding success.

**Media Night**

Weeks ahead of grand opening, we invited social media influencers to build gift baskets filled with wine, spirits and marketplace goods, then do what they do best — create and share content that showcased our brand to all of their followers. These collaborations were a big hit, generating a buzz for what The Good Pour is all about and promoting the upcoming grand opening events.

**VIP Night**

Then, we kicked off the festivities with an exclusive VIP event on Thursday night, creating an elevated and energetic atmosphere that set the tone for the entire weekend.

**Ribbon Cutting**

A champagne toast was called for to celebrate the official opening with the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce to kickoff the grand opening festivities for the general public.

Espresso Martini Bar — **Tastings & Activations**

Throughout the weekend, guests were treated to dozens of supplier-led tastings, which we secured through strong partnerships and connections in the industry. The espresso martini bar was a showstopper and a bubbly collaboration with local favorite, Kelly's Ice Cream, was a crowd pleaser.

The celebration continued all weekend long, with energetic rooftop parties marking the debut of the store's stunning new venue, Top Shelf. It was the perfect place to sip, mingle and enjoy the cityscape. We also brought in local food trucks and artisan partners, including a permanent jewelry artist and a hand-drawn portrait artist creating beautiful keepsakes on corks.

This grand opening was a perfect example of the hands-on support we provide our franchise partners. We believe that a successful launch is the first step in building a thriving community hub. The turnout, the enthusiasm and the incredible atmosphere were all proof that when you pour with purpose, people are excited to join in the celebration. It was more than a grand opening — it was a community-wide toast to doing good.
