September 25, 2013: Sampling Charges at BC Tasting Rooms

HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:

Sampling Charges at BC Winery Tasting Rooms 

Consumers and travelers find many different options in this great province of ours when it comes to sampling wines at winery tasting rooms.  Some do not charge, some charge but then refund if you purchase, some conduct longer tours or tastings that are arranged ahead of time for a fee and many other possibilities.

What goes into making these decisions at wineries and what goes through the head of a consumer when faced with these various scenarios?

Tonight’s topic brings you into the tasting rooms or BC and we hope you’ll join us!

If I Could Tell the #WBC13 Wine Bloggers One Great Thing About Our BC Wine Industry it Would Be… (feed lost)

The Wine Blogger’s are here!  The Wine Blogger’s are here!  A wonderful group of enthusiastic wine, food and travel bloggers are descending on Penticton this week and here’s your chance to encapsulate in one location your best thing (or things) about the BC Wine industry.  Sure, it’s always easier to gripe and moan about how we can make our industry better, but here’s your time to tell people who don’t know a lot about our area why we love what we do and where we do it.

Consumers, retailers, restaurants, and wineries!  Why you love this place, its people and these wines?  We’ll package it up pretty for the Wine Bloggers for reading later so think about it and then tweet it.
