What gets booked is a date, not an experience: can we do Saturday, for how many, and what happens if it rains. Answer those three in advance and you get the booking instead of an email.
The customer decides on the move and from a phone, often minutes before booking. A page that only shows prices after a form loses to the platform that shows them straight away.
Age limits, fitness, what to bring and what happens with children are checked last and cancelled over. On the page, they turn into the bookings that actually turn up.
Private hire and group rates are searched for separately from the standard ticket. A page that prices a family, a stag group and a school trip differently catches three bookings that a single price list turns away.
«Who drives after the tasting?» That is the responsible question, and hardly any winery answers it on the page. What options exist — a bus, a driver, hotel pick-up, tasting with a spittoon — how much is actually drunk on a visit and what that means for a blood alcohol reading, whether there is an alcohol-free alternative for whoever is driving, and why a winery that arranges transport sells more bottles than one that does not.
«What do you actually see on the visit?» Promising an «experience» and delivering a walk round the warehouse produces bad reviews. Which areas are visited and which are closed depending on the season, how much walking there is and whether there are steps or uneven ground, how many wines are tasted and with what alongside them, and what changes during harvest compared with a February visit.
«We are coming with children and somebody is not drinking.» Half of all family bookings are lost for want of an answer. What is offered to non-drinkers and whether they pay the same, what ages are admitted and what children do during the tasting, whether there is somewhere to eat and at what times, and which visits work best with a mixed group of adults and children.
The bottle somebody carries home is not the sale that matters. Shipping a case to their address, the discount at six bottles and whether the wine can be reordered next year is what turns one afternoon into a customer.
