Here at Vinebase, we believe that the world deserves to drink more independent wine. And part of that vision is making it easy and enjoyable to get independent wine directly from wineries, especially the ones in your backyard.

That's why we're excited to announce support for Local Pickup, a way for wineries to offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to getting their wine to customers.

Local pickup is a great way to build customer relationships.

Local pickup is another great way to build relationships with your customers by strengthening in-person connections with them, which may increase repeat sales.

When customers pickup their orders in person, you get to spend a little bit of time face to face, sharing about the wines or asking them how their day was.

Local pickup - It’s one more way for your customers to love you. :)

It's also better for the environment.

According to leading researchers, nearly 70% of wine industry's carbon footprint comes from packaging and shipping. While it's likely you need to ship wine to most of your customers, being able to offer a local pickup option for local customers can make your winery more attractive to environmentally conscious consumers.

Set up local pickup options for your customers today.

Offering local pickup to your customers is an easy and environmentally-friendly way to get people face-to-face with you, building stronger customer relationships and increasing sales.
