Bookings without the phone tag.
Cellar doors in the Yarra Valley and around Heathcote get busy on weekends, and it’s hard to answer the phone while pouring tastings. Online bookings for seated tastings, tours and group visits could show real availability, take deposits where you want them, and send confirmations and reminders automatically.
Events work the same way. A long lunch or a release day could have its own page with ticketing, dietary questions and a waitlist, so you know numbers before you order food.
Selling wine online.
A wine club is often the steadiest source of sales. Members could manage their details, see upcoming shipments and update a card themselves, rather than emailing you each time something changes.
Online wine sales also carry responsibilities. Your liquor licence conditions apply, and buyers need to confirm they’re 18 or over, with deliveries handled accordingly. I can build the checkout to include those steps, but you should confirm the exact requirements for your licence with the regulator or your adviser.
Working with what you already have.
Many venues already run a point of sale system like Square, or sell online through Shopify. New pages, booking tools or gift vouchers can often connect with those so stock and sales stay in one place.
