Have you ever stayed at a boutique hotel? Well, for my Marriott guy husband a boutique hotel is a stretch. We finally ran out of Marriott business points (thank goodness) and we now book boutique hotels. This one in Houston, Texas. Hotel ZaZa. In town for the rodeo last year. My husband did not act like he liked it. It was different from anything he was used to at the Marriott. Not enough drawers in the room. 🫠 He gave it a chance and now really likes it. The service is different. Better. Overall experience better too. Our daughter and grandsons had a blast ordering room service. Their favorite thing to do in a hotel. They also had jelly beans at checkout. Now what Marriott gives cinnamon jelly beans at checkout? Think of the Scout & Cellar wine experience like a boutique experience. Sure it’s different than walking into your local wine store. It is shipped right to your door and you can shop online in your pjs. But, honestly, I promise if you give it a try you won’t miss the added sugar, glyphosate and added synthetic junk in the mass produced wine. You’ll taste Scout & Cellar wine and will never go back. Superior to organic. I would love for you to begin your boutique wine shopping experience on the website below or message ne with questions. The Wine Quiz is a fun AI tool to help determine the best choices for your palate. Take it and see. Linked below. #opportunity #business #coffeeandwine

Consumer preferences in the South African wine & tourism industry are shifting 📈 1. Consumers are increasingly preferring local & authentic experiences. They are gravitating towards smaller, family-owned wineries that offer experiences of local culture rather than over-commercialised wineries with little to no intimacy. 🍇 2. Consumers are also leaning more towards farm-to-fork dining - they want wholesome experiences 🧑🌾 3. Internationally, consumers are choosing white wine over red more and more 🍷 (even more reason for the white wine emoji!) Explore the authentic and local wineries that the Winelands have to offer with our intimate Wine Safari tours at Wines of Paarl. It’s like a game safari, but wine.🍷

🌟 Wine Lists in Hospitality: It’s About the Experience, Not Just the Wine 🍷 As guests in the hospitality industry seek deeper connections and more personalized experiences, the importance of a thoughtfully curated and transparent wine list cannot be overstated. Today’s consumers aren’t just after the buzz or a simple red vs. white choice—they want an authentic wine experience that tells a story and reflects the values of the establishment. 🍇✨ 📖 Key Takeaways: Transparency Matters: Guests want to know where their wine comes from, its sustainability practices, and what makes it special. Transparency builds trust and elevates the guest experience. Curating Experiences: A well-thought-out wine list can enhance the overall dining experience, transforming an ordinary meal into something unforgettable. This goes beyond offering a wide selection; it’s about crafting an experience that resonates with your guests. Sustainability Sells: More guests are looking for sustainable options that reflect their values. By highlighting sustainable wines, wineries and restaurants can not only differentiate themselves but also foster brand loyalty. In an industry where experience is everything, hospitality businesses need to pay close attention to their wine offerings—it's about creating moments, stories, and connections that guests will remember. Let’s embrace the transparency trend and offer guests not just wine, but an unforgettable experience! 🍇🍷 #HospitalityIndustry #CustomerExperience #WineCulture #Sustainability #WineTourism #GuestSatisfaction

"When I run into people not using Tripleseat, I bend their ear and tell them it will change their life. I meet with a lot of venues here in Northern California, and I tell them what a timesaver it has been, how helpful it has been with reporting, how it has helped us bring so much more revenue in, how it helps us communicate with clients - it’s such a valuable tool, and I can say with confidence that our event program would not be where it is without Tripleseat." - Johanna Holm, Director of Marketing and Events at Elusa Winery Locals and travelers alike visit Napa Valley’s Elusa Winery to experience its incredible wines through wine tastings, facility tours, and private events. Elusa Winery has grown its private event offerings – hosting wine dinners, receptions, and private tastings - for social and corporate clientele.

Did you also know the characteristics of whisky change with oxidisation? So the minute you open your Whisky your bottle dynamics will change. This is not always such a bad thing but worth thinking about when opening your prize whisky. Pour a glass, apply argon to the bottle, and reseal until the next dram. #whiskylovers #whiskytasting #wineandspirits
