We work in the heart of the Médoc, surrounded by estates and appellations. Which is to say we know the subject: a wine estate’s website looks nothing like a restaurant’s site or a standard shop. Between direct sales, welcoming visitors to the tasting room and a foreign clientele, it has its own rules. Here is what really counts.
Selling direct, with no middleman
Direct sales are where the battle is won for an estate: that is where the margin is best. A site must let people order your bottles online simply, with case handling, delivery costs suited to wine, and secure payment. Depending on your volume, we start from a full shop or from a lighter sales module, without charging you for an oversized e-commerce engine if you sell a handful of cuvées.
Bringing people to the tasting room: wine tourism
A large share of your customers want first of all to visit and taste. So the site has to take care of that side: presenting the estate and the terroir, booking a visit or a tasting, opening hours, directions, and beautiful photos. A booking module turns a curious visitor into an appointment at the tasting room.
Speaking to visitors who come from far away
Wine travels, and the enthusiasts who visit the Médoc often come from abroad. A multilingual site (English first, sometimes more) widens your audience noticeably, for exports as much as for wine tourism. It is an investment that makes sense when a share of your customers does not speak French.
Being found: search for an estate
Your future customers search for “estate + appellation”, “wine + Médoc”, “tasting + your village”. A fast, well-structured site, paired with an up-to-date Google listing, puts you where the decision is made, whether the visitor is looking for a bottle to order or a visit to book.
The little extra: objects for the tasting room
An estate is also a brand. Many complete their site with custom objects for the tasting room and for visitors: souvenir keyrings, objects in the estate’s colours, holders for tastings. We print them in the same workshop, in bio-sourced PLA, to order. If that interests you, it is all on the custom keyrings page.
