For vineyards & distilleries

Sell the place, not the price.

Nobody falls in love with a bottle on a shelf. They fall for the hillside, the barrel hall, the terrace at golden hour — and video is the only thing that carries the place off the property. We turn the photos you already have into a fresh cinematic clip every day, plus daily posts and carousels. You film nothing.

Month-to-month, no agency retainer. We scope the right plan and pricing with you on a quick 15-minute call.

Why cellar doors go quiet online

1

Harvest arrives and the marketing stops for three months.

From the first pick you're on the crush pad at dawn, and the account that was posting twice a week goes dark until the wine's in barrel. By the time you surface, the feed has to be restarted from nothing — while the producers who never stopped kept the reach. Then it happens again next year, and the year after that.

2

On a shelf, you're just a label next to a $9 bottle.

Nothing in the supermarket aisle explains the forty-year-old vines, the hand-harvest, or the five years you waited on that barrel. Stripped of the place, wine and spirits get compared on price alone — a comparison an independent producer cannot win. The story only travels if someone actually shows it.

3

The tasting room is full on Saturday and empty on Tuesday.

Same staff, same opening hours, a third of the covers. Midweek visitors are the ones planning a day out a week or two ahead — they're deciding while scrolling, and if nothing of yours has crossed their feed recently, you're simply not on the shortlist.

4

Club members cancel because they forgot you existed.

A member hears from you three or four times a year, when a box lands. In between there's silence — then a charge on a card they don't recognise, and that's the moment they cancel. What holds a club together is still feeling connected to the place between shipments, and silence is exactly what breaks it.

What we run for your estate

A cinematic video every day, from photos you already own

A slow push between the rows at first light, a pull back down the barrel hall, the still catching the window, the terrace as the sun drops behind the ridge — animated from your existing stills. No crew, no drone, no shoot day. We rotate through several video models and pick the shot that reads as filmed, not generated.

The estate through all four seasons, posted all year

Bud break, veraison, the crush, bare winter rows, barrels being topped up, the copper warming. It's the most watchable content any producer owns and most of it never leaves the camera roll — one year's photos becomes a year of video, including the months you're far too busy to think about posting.

Content that fills the tasting room and keeps the club warm

Two revenue lines, two rhythms. Visit-driving content leans on place — the terrace, the tour, what's open midweek, the events calendar. Club and shipping content leans on craft and the people behind it, so members hear from you between deliveries instead of only when a box arrives.

Comments and DMs answered while people are still deciding

Add the engagement layer and "are you open Tuesday?", "do you ship to my state?" and tour questions get a reply within hours instead of next week. Real enquiries — trade, group bookings, private tastings — come to you with the conversation attached.

Frequently asked

All we have is photos, and the vineyard looks different every month. Does that work?
That's ideal source material. We animate your stills into 10–20 second clips with real camera movement — pushes between the rows, a pull down the barrel hall, an orbit around the still — using several of the best video models and choosing per shot, so it reads as filmed footage rather than an obvious AI effect. Seasonal variation is an advantage: one year's photos gives us bud break through harvest, so what goes out always matches the month you're actually in.
Can you promote wine and spirits on Instagram and Facebook?
Yes, within the rules — and the rules differ by platform and by country. Alcohol content has to be age-gated, and there are restrictions on health claims, on copy that encourages drinking, and in some markets on showing consumption at all. We keep content compliant: age restrictions set on the accounts, no health or medical claims, nothing that pushes people to drink more, and a focus on place, craft and visiting rather than the glass being emptied. If you sell into a market with tighter rules, say so on the call and we adjust what we produce.
Harvest takes over from August. What happens to the account then?
Nothing changes — that's the whole point of done-for-you. We film nothing on your property and need nothing from you day to day, so the feed keeps running through crush while you're on the pad at 5am. Harvest also happens to be the best content of the year, and we'll keep using those photos long after the fruit is in.
We sell at the cellar door and ship to a club. Can one account do both?
Yes, and it should — it's the same audience at different distances. We split the calendar between visit-driving content (the terrace, tours, midweek openings, events) and club and shipping content (the people, the barrels, what's about to be released), so a local sees a reason to come on Tuesday and a member three states away is reminded why they joined. We agree the mix with you at onboarding and adjust it by season.
What plans do you offer?
Two plans: Social is daily posts and carousels built from your own photos; Social + Daily Video adds a fresh video every day — the format doing the real reach work right now. Both are month-to-month with no agency retainer. We scope which plan fits and the exact pricing on a quick 15-minute call.
