Trip+Sip: The Wine Friend Experience
Join me, with my husband and sometimes our kids in tow, as we visit at least one new vineyard a month. You may participate either in-person or virtually on social media and during our visit, we will become acclimated with the culture of each vineyard through a tour the property (as available) and a wine tasting. This time together will allow us to explore our palates and to explore what the winemaker and vineyard owner is hoping to portray.
We hope that through this journey, you will be inspired to not only explore your love for wine on a deeper level, but that you will visit and support your own local vineyards. The culture of wine is magnificent and there is an unlimited amount of history to soak in about wines and where they derive! And remember, wine is unconditional, meaning your experience with wine will be very different from mine, so let's explore together with no other expectations but to learn something new and have a great time!
Trip+Sip: The Vineyard Experience
How It Works
We offer our followers a Trip+Sip experience where we visit vineyards across the states and we invite our followers to join the adventure either in-person or virtually. During our visit, the blogger will meet with the vineyard owner, chat about how they got started in the wine business, the inspiration for their wines, and their success stories and challenges throughout their journey. If we are able, we’ll tour the property, check out the event and private tasting spaces, and we’ll participate in a tasting to get a firsthand experience of the wines.
Throughout this interactive experience, we will post live videos on our social media, engage with our followers during our visit, and of course, we’ll take lots of pictures to document our time together.
Within a week of the visit, the blogger will complete a review of their experience, which will focus on what they enjoyed and liked most. Our goal is to promote and drive awareness to local wineries and educate our followers on the culture of wine, grapes, vineyards, and the incredible individuals that play a part in getting vino in the glass of the consumer!
What We Need from You
For the blogger to have a successful experience, we ask the following of the owner or tasting room manager:
- Provide 15 minutes of an agreed upon time with the blogger for an interview. We will provide you with questions in advance of our visit.
- Take the blogger on a tour of the areas you’d like highlighted in the blog. The blogger will capture photos and videos during the tour.
- Take a photo with the blogger at your favorite area of the vineyard to be used for social media and the blog.
- The blogger will participate in a tasting. If you would like to comp their tasting as a “Thank You” for reviewing your vineyard, that would be appreciated, but not required. The blogger is encouraged to purchase a bottle of wine, to support your business and to use as content for social media and our website.
Wine Gift Card Contest
Our vineyard owners have been gracious and have donated a gift card (and have considered this a marketing expense) to be raffled off to one lucky follower and redeemed for a bottle of wine. Immediately following our visit, we will announce the contest on the Culture
Wine Blogger Instagram and will require the following to be eligible to win:
Follow Culture Wine Blogger and the participating vineyard on Instagram.
- Tag 3 wine-friends within the comment section of the post.
- The contest we be open for two days and the winner will be announced on the Culture Wine Blogger page the evening of the second day. We will confirm that the winner follows both pages before the announcement.
- The vineyard should also post the winner on their Instagram to generate further interest and celebrate the winner.
- The winner will then work with the vineyard directly to redeem their gift card.
We are excited to partner with you to drive awareness to your vineyard and to increase your followers. If you are ready to move forward in this experience, please complete the registration form and we’ll get you scheduled!
