Guest acquisition for wineries

Great experiences are never booked alone.

Your next club members are already on the reservation. The friends, family and colleagues who come with your bookers share the taste, the means and the appetite for the next visit. Today, they arrive anonymous and leave the same way.

HMBL welcomes every one of them before the visit, and turns each guest into a contact you can market to.

82%

of winery visits end without capturing any guest contact information.1

The right moment

No awkward ask mid-experience.

No one wants a wine educator to interrupt a beautiful pour to ask for an email. So most guests are never asked, or are asked at the worst possible moment.

We reach your guests before they arrive, while they're anticipating the visit. Then the visit confirms the relationship instead of starting it.

How it works

Started by the booker. Not by you.

That's why it works. The invitation reaches each guest as a message from a friend, not a marketing email from a winery.

  1. A reservation lands

    Keep the reservation system you already use: Tock, Resy or your own booking forms. No switching, and nothing new for your team.

  2. HMBL Welcome prepares the visit

    Every booker receives a private, branded itinerary from your domain, made for inviting their group. Secure and private, with nothing for your team to do.

  3. The booker brings the party in

    The whole group gets everything they need before the visit. Each guest gets their own itinerary for the visit: the experience, directions, timing, menus. A reason to say yes, not a form to fill out. And a message from a friend gets opened: 85% of invites in our live program.2

  4. Guests opt in and land in your list

    Each guest claims their own welcome and chooses to hear from you. New contacts go straight into your own Mailchimp or Klaviyo, tagged and ready. No exports, no middlemen.

Your guests

How many of your guests arrive as strangers?

Your best guess. Only the booker’s name is on the reservation.
7,200

guests a year whose names aren’t on a reservation. That’s 600 a month, every one already booked.
