Sustainable Tasting Room Tips
June 6
2024Your tasting room may be the most customer-facing facet of your wine business. This makes it the perfect setting to display your dedication to sustainability.
Provide visual cues to let your guests know that the wine they sip is more than delicious – it’s environmentally and socially responsible.
Get inspiration from this Marketing Tip to share your commitment with your guests in fun, decorative ways.
Sign Sustainably
Communicate what your business values by using eye-catching signage.
On a recent Team trip to Oso Libre, we could immediately see that they are passionate about sustainability.
Their passion is seeded throughout every area of the tasting room. From sustainable signs posted on the fence line, to informational pieces hung inside, outside, and even in the restrooms, every wall has a message that connects guests what sustainability really means to Oso Libre.
Curious tasters are enticed by in-depth material that welcomes them to dig a little deeper and learn about exactly how the brand embodies sustainability.
