"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. Since implementing Tripleseat to streamline the event management process, Elusa Winery has tripled its annual private event revenue, cementing private events as a substantial part of its business. We sat down with Johanna Holm to learn about her experience using Tripleseat to manage Elusa Winery's growing private events program.

Entertaining clients goes beyond simply wining and dining them - it's about nurturing strong connections that drive business success. Building these relationships and trust is key, and what better way to do it than in a beautiful vineyard? Our serene partner vineyards are the perfect place to show your clients that they're valued and to get to know them outside of the usual business environment. Plus, it's a chance to stand out from the competition and leave a lasting impression - as how many of your clients have had a luxury wine tasting experience in England? We bet it’s far fewer compared to typical outings like golf days or sporting events! https://lnkd.in/er62Gcet #corporatehospitality #englishwine #cliententertainment #businessrelationships

🍇🧳 Cheers! Here’s a fun shot from our recent winery escape. Circled up, we captured the essence of our adventure—shared moments, laughter, and a toast or two. We explored the vineyards and savoring each tasting. It’s trips like these that remind us why we travel together. Where should the Suitcase Gals go next?

Coming Soon! The video showcases what both companies do as a base. It’s rare when collaborating brands create unique, luxury experiences that further each other, rather then compete with one another. Wagyu Wine Clubs- Wagyu Wagons (Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. black Urus and Golden Huracan) to create upscale, mobile food and wine experiences is just one of those ways. But…. When you add the elevated beach/bonfire experiences that Blu Lite Bonfires creates with Wagyu Wine Clubs rare wine and foods, you get a new level of experience. An experience that creates next level team bonding for a special #mlb team. What helps takes this to another level, is blu lite bonfires ecological/philanthropic ethos of leaving the world and space that we use better off than when we left it. Every event they create, they comb and sift the beach of all trash and debris, for a truly natural and organic beach experience. This means they will clean up over 10,000 sqft of beach and sand for our upcoming event. They also host many beach cleanup events for their local communities. For all those looking for the next level of luxury. For more info about each company see links.

What do you think is happening in this picture? This is from an event we host at the winery in December called The Great Big Holiday Party. It is the only ticketed family-friendly event we offer at our winery. There are horse-drawn wagon rides around the vineyard, an over-the-top hot chocolate bar, and of course Santa who brought a big book of names on a Naughty and Nice list. For fun, we offered a "speak easy" tasting experience for our wine club members. As we are planning 2024, we revisit our mission and vision as well as our brand to consider if we should offer events and if so, what type of events. We also have to tie every event to a purpose. Each event has to have an explanation of why we host it, for whom, and what the goal is. This may seem tedious but is necessary for the success of the winery and to make sure we are offering intentional events that our customers will attend. This year we hosted several winemaker dinners, a Motown Jazz concert, guided vineyard tours, library tastings, barrel tastings, pop-ups in Seattle area and Vancouver, WA and more. We are excited about what next year will bring! How do you decide what your business will offer (new products, events, etc.) for the next year? Do share. Inquiring minds want to know.
