Its founders goal was to bring attention to all the cultural happenings in the area. In 2007, local musicians Andy Flinn & Ariana Nasr took over the paper.
In 2009 Jocelyn Hatt and Jeremy Novak took ownership. In May 2013 The Grapevine switched to printing on newsprint. They released 16-28 page issues that covered the thriving arts and entertainment scene and grew the distribution area from Windsor to Berwick.
