Italian wine café Veeno to open tenth venue at 5 Wellington Place in Leeds

Veeno, the Italian wine café, has acquired a new site at the Wellington Place development in Leeds city centre.

Veeno, which first launched in Leeds in July 2014, has also opened sites in the North West, Midlands, South West and Scotland.

The new Wellington Place site will be Veeno’s tenth location.

Andrea Zecchino, co-founder of Veeno, said: “We are looking forward to opening our second wine café in Leeds, especially in such a fast growing area of the city. It will be a fantastic addition to our brand.”

The interiors design and fit-out project is being managed by The Master Key Group.

Giada Schioppa, architect and director of the company, commented: “We have come a long way with Veeno, from supporting them at the early stage of the expansion to managing the full fit out in the other opened venues.

“The Leeds project is our biggest yet with seating for 100, we have created zones within the café to replicate the intimate feel of their smaller venues as well as the addition of a wine tasting room in which they can hold private events, experiencing the authenticity of the products”.

Andrea and her co-founder Nino Caruso opened their first wine café towards the end of 2013.

Veeno source its wine from Nino’s family vineyard in Marsala, Sicily. The Caruso family have been growing vines there since the 19th century.

Veeno will open its doors at 5 Wellington Place at 5pm on Thursday 8th December.

Nino added: “This is a pivotal time for Veeno, looking back three years ago I could never have imagined we would be where we are now!

“We’re looking forward to opening our second wine café in Leeds and expanding further in the New Year!”
