BC Born and Island Raised, Nikki Beach has been a food and beverage culture enthusiast since early years and has been behind a bar since the day of his 19th birthday, and of course not a moment before.

 

Multi faceted in the world of F&B and Marketing, Nikki has excelled in the open demo kitchen, specified and hand-crafted catering, event coordination, and most importantly as a territory sales manager. 

 

Joining Hops & Vine in 2016 he has brought that experience and energy to the front lines of sales in the Mid/North Island; His keen interest in the culture and food scenes of the Island has led to a very active role within such events and dining experiences including private dinner clubs and his role as a brand ambassador for Edible Vancouver Island.

​

Over the years on the Island Nikki has worn many hats... as a salesman, circus performer & show host, server & bartender, meat cutter & cook, - 'If you have questions about F&B on VI, he is your guy.'

 

On his off days he likes to take his Jeep out to the woods and cook over fire with his rottweiler-shepherd Mr. Cooper.

 

In 2022 Nikki moved to Victoria to follow in David Murney’s footsteps and take on the opportunity of managing the operations of Hops & Vine for Vancouver Island.

Hops & Vine is proud to partner with Vintage Corks and Continuum Beverage Company
