Vinings Jubilee has been named 2011 Vinings Business of the Year by the Vinings Business Association (VBA) during their January 3rd luncheon held at Social Vinings restaurant. The award is presented to the business they believe made a large impact on the community as well as their involvement in the Vinings Business Association and other community events and organizations.

Terri Hilderhoff, property manager for Paces Holdings, the company that manages the Vinings Jubilee, accepted the 2011 Vinings Business of the Year award. In October 1986, Felix Cochran dedicated Vinings Jubilee to the community of Vinings in tribute to its history. In the 25 years since the dedication, Vinings Jubilee has doubled in size. Vinings Jubilee is a collection of fashionable boutiques, exciting restaurants and one-of-a-kind specialty stores nestled in the lush and historic Vinings Village. Vinings Jubilee celebrated their 25th anniversary with a party on October 1st this past year.

Each year at their January luncheon, the VBA recognizes and honors a local business, for the previous year, which has demonstrated leadership in the community and has helped promote Vinings as a destination.

Vinings Jubilee joins The Marriott Courtyard Vinings and SOHO as past winners. .
