"Jack...nice idea...the subject on the Curtis Winery has someone who is not very dynamic...he is very genuine but lacking in delivery...and if you try to interest other wineries it may not be the easiest sell.
Maybe of more interest would be a…"

Winery Tourism Website
After a couple of years of research, winery interviews and development, I'm in the process of launching a new website designed to promote winery tourism. The site allows wineries to post videos of their grounds and amenities, do virtual wine tastings of their wines and provide information on other tourist attractions in their area. If you would take the time to take a look I would appreciate your feedback. The site is http://www.winetrailers.com and at…See More

If you would like, please take a moment and go to http://www.winetrailers.com and tell me what you think of the concept of winery made videos used to promote the wines and amenities of member wineries and the site as a whole. This is a beta site, so we're also looking for Charter Members to populate…See More
Jack Woller, Jr. replied to Allan Wright's discussion North American Wine Tourism Conference in the group wine tourism"Allan - The idea of a North American Wine Tourism Conference sounds exciting, relevant and very timely.

Ana Keller replied to Jack Woller, Jr.'s discussion Winery Amenities in the group Wineries"I think wine tourism is a long-term fad. People will always visit wine regions of the world. I think you will have different levels of tourists. First time visitors, with little or no knowledge of the wine country, more experiences, who want more…"
Jack Woller, Jr. added a discussion to the group WineriesWinery Amenities
Is winery tourism a long-term trend or a short-term fad? Does it make economic sense for a winery to invest in amenities such as B&Bs, restaurants, wedding facilities, concert venues and elaborate gift shops and tasting rooms to attract more high margin retail customers? By way of full disclosure, I'm working on a team that's developing a web site designed to promote winery tourism that's about to go into beta testing. As winery professionals your opinions and insights would be very…See More
