5 Ways to Show Support for Your Favorite Winery or Tasting Room
We outline 5 easy ways to show your support for your favorite tasting room or winery while they endure the complicated and evolving guidelines for social distancing.
No doubt, the wine industry has seen it's challenges over the last couple of years. From tornadoes to earthquakes to widespread flooding to deadly wildfires, the wine country has endured just about every natural disaster.
And what makes this industry so unique, instead of looking at each other as competitors, we reach out and support our neighbors, whether that's to share a pump, a forklift or some extra hands to get that last bin of grapes crushed. It's an unspoken 'thank you' that the industry shares and it's a great example of raw human emotion and compassion at work that is both exhilarating and humbling.
Like all of you, our industry has been effected once again in a way that not many of us have ever- nor ever want to again. What we can do is stay connected and show the love and unwavering support for our favorite businesses, whether that right down the street or across the country. And for many of our properties we work with, that support not only helps them emotionally, but also helps them keep employees on the payroll where many are like family members to them.
Today, we're dedicating our blog to help us in showing support for your favorite tasting room. And to do so, we've come up with 5 simple ways that can be as simple as sharing a story about the day you first discovered your favorite property on their social media channel to paying it forward by purchasing gift cards. The choice is simple and it takes just a few clicks or taps to bring a smile to someone's day.
