Why Participate?

(A). Trade Tasting: We have a dedicated trade team that will be inviting all legitimate accounts. Wine stores, wine retail, hotel buyers, ideal restaurants, country clubs and wine bars. We have the highest standards when it comes to trade involvement and we focus on quality over quantity.

Total Trade Database we Maintain is over 2000 accounts and approx 3000 contacts. We vet, we invite, we say no if you are not "trade" - we ask for your support of this "cleansing" effort. We want to make "Trade Tastings Great Again" :)

(B). Key Central Location: La Brea and Wilshire is considered "Prime" and well centered - this is one of LA's top tasting venues. We will be indoors for the trade and on a covered outdoor patio for the consumer

(C). Data - All participating wineries will be provided with the account information for every trade account that participates. This is a BONUS and tends not to mean much from other event producers - but from LearnAboutWine - this is a serious ROI document.

(D). Wine Sales: Yes - you may do DTC sales (as your legal department permits, every ABC permit maybe a little different). You may also align with our wine sales partner - MerchantofWine.com. To do so, you will need to agree to sell the store the exact bottles sold at the lowest price quoted. This may require the wine to come direct from the winery depending on your relationship with your distributor (no broken case charges allowed). If you selected to sell DTC please provide your own price sheets. A separate form will be coming to you so that we may properly promote your winery and the wines you intend to pour. We can also arrange (for a small fee) for you to ship wine to our warehouse and we will deliver the wine to the event for you.

(E). Social Media Promotion and Partnership: Our partnership with Los Angeles Magazine, Local Wine Events, Tock, Eventbrite and Shopify - as well as our newly expanded team of social media and marketing professionals will make this a showcase event and get brand level marketing, quality of association, and to produce a world class event takes an army... we need you to support the event with Social Media posts, inviting your trade and distributor to support, and a post to your consumer audiences.
