Wine Road of Northern Sonoma County Market Study

  • 1 min read

By many measures, wineries are in the most competitive market in history, with changes in buyer behavior and business models shaking up all corners of the industry. I have reviewed 182 wineries on the Wine Road of Northern Sonoma County and rated them on storytelling performance. There is low-hanging fruit available to wineries to help encourage new drinker discovery while preserving customer loyalty, including:

  • 83% of winery sites don’t use an age gate.
  • Customers see posts twice weekly from only 17% of the member wineries.
  • 32% of members provide tools to share or review wine online.
  • 4 out of 10 wineries fail to mention a company purpose.
  • 10 brands enjoy 45% of the total Wine Road social engagement.

I hope you find the full results of the Market Study valuable to your craft beverage business.
