VineSmoke™ is changing the way we enjoy BBQ by introducing a new, sophisticated flavor and grilling technique. Every year in the fall, after the grape harvest, vineyards all over the world expertly prune back their grape vines to ensure healthy regrowth the next season. In Europe, for hundreds of years wineries have used these grape vine prunings to grill and smoke meats, fish and vegetables for their families and at their local restaurants. At VineSmoke™ we aim to bring this centuries-old practice to all BBQ aficionados to enjoy the rich, savory and complex flavor created by this process. VineSmoke™ repurposes the vine prunings as perfectly flavored smoking wood to be used in a variety of ways to barbeque and smoke meat, fish or vegetables using charcoal or gas grills. Still somewhat of a well-kept BBQ secret in the US, this product, concept and grilling style is quietly sweeping the nation.
