Igniting a Shared Passion for the Craft
Our Team
Founded on Passion, Cultivated on Expertise
Stephanie Payne founded Every Sip (formerly Vine Times) in 2015 to bring her passion for wine and spirits to life. Inspired by Stephanie’s enriching wine country visits, her vision was to bring a fresh approach to local beverage promotions - one that fosters an educational and immersive experience.
Founded in Minnesota, Every Sip now provides promotional services for wine, spirits, and beer as well as THC and hemp-derived beverages throughout the Midwest. Each sampling event receives the knowledge and enthusiasm as Stephanie first envisioned, now shared by the entire team.
Every Sip is a women-led business cultivating a revolutionary beverage promotions company that puts experience and dependability first. Achieving years of brand loyalty, customer satisfaction, and boosted sales, we leave lasting impressions for our partners and their customers.
