Rita Winkler, Owner
After working as a sales manager specializing in European wines,
Rita Winkler, Owner of
Vines & Branches, decided to follow her passion for olive oil and
open an olive oil-balsamic vinegars & specialty foods shop.
Rita's major determining factor in following through on her vision was related to her battle with breast cancer in 2003. While recuperating from surgery and undergoing chemotherapy, Rita focused on replenishing and keeping her body strong. She found holistic therapy in the artisianal olive oils she had collected while visiting Europe on her wine travels. She used these olive oils as part of her daily dietary rehabilitation by taking 2 tablespoons a day and included them in her juicing and cooking. As a result, she never had a mouth sore, her skin and hair remained soft and supple (even during winter months!), and her metabolism significantly improved.
Fast forward 9 years and Rita's passion became reality when her first olive oil-balsamic gourmet vinegar tasting room opened in Greenport in April 2012. Following the quick success of her Greenport store, Rita opened up stores Westhampton Beach in June 2012 and Southampton Village in April 2013 (closed 2017).
Vines & Branches has exciting new business ventures and expansions in store for the future.
