Breweries and wineries

Websites for breweries and wineries.

Someone planning a Saturday wants to know what's pouring and whether there's music, and club members come back for pickups and releases. Send us the new tap list or the next event and we post it, so the site isn't three releases behind the taproom.

What we look after

What a brewery or winery website has to do.

Keep the tap list current

Untappd for Business and similar services give you a menu to embed, so the site changes when you change it there. We set it up and check it after every update.

Keep the event calendar full

Live music and release days bring people out. On Managed + Website, send us the month's events and we post them.

Sign up club members

Wine and beer clubs run on Commerce7, WineDirect or WooCommerce at most places. We link or embed the signup so members can join from the site.

Book tastings and tickets

If you sell tastings through Tock or event tickets through Eventbrite, we put the booking button on the pages where people decide to come.

Show the way out there

A tasting room on a back road needs directions that work when the map app gets it wrong. We put a map, plain directions and your seasonal hours on the visit page.

Load fast in the parking lot

People pull up the site from the lot to check whether the kitchen is open. We keep the pages light so that works on one bar of signal.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • The tap list on the website is from last spring, so people ask for beers we finished months ago.
  • We post events on Instagram and forget the website, and the calendar still shows last month.
  • The wine club signup broke after an update, and we only found out when signups stopped.
  • People in the parking lot try to check our hours, and the site takes forever to load.
A note from Ryan

What's pouring this weekend

On a brewery or winery site, I open the events page first. When it still shows last month, visitors wonder whether you're open, and it's the page that falls behind first when everyone is busy pouring. I'd rather you email me the week's lineup on a Tuesday than leave it for later.

Is the event calendar still showing last month?

Send us the address and we'll look at your events, hours and club pages on a phone, the way someone planning a weekend sees them.

Plans

How much do you want us to do?

Every plan comes with the same developer and a free migration. Managed is month to month, and Managed + Website has a 12-month minimum because the new website is part of it.

Managed

  • Same-day replies from the developer who does the work

A new website included

Managed + Website

  • Response times in the contract agreed before anything gets signed
  • Uptime commitments in writing with a named person to escalate to
  • A dedicated server, if you need one sized to your traffic
  • Update windows that suit you scheduled around your busy hours
  • Custom software and integrations web apps and tools built around how you work
  • A development team when you need one vetted US-based developers for bigger jobs
Get started

We agree on the terms with you first.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Yes, if you use Untappd for Business or a service like it. You change the list there, and the menu embedded on your site changes with it.

We can link or embed the club and ticket services you use now. Selling clubs or tickets on the site itself is a bigger build, so we'd quote it first at $95 an hour or a fixed price.

That's what Managed + Website is for. We build the new site and host it, then post your events when you email them over, which suits a taproom where nobody has time to log in on a Friday.

That depends on your state and your licenses, so it's a question for whoever handles your compliance. Many breweries and wineries add one either way, and if you want it, we'll add one that works on a phone.

What customers say.

Reviews from Trustpilot

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
Adam C.
Great customer service! I have multiple websites hosted on Hosterr. Setup was seamless and super easy, customer service has always been fantastic and quick to respond. I've had 100% uptime with no issues. Would recommend Hosterr to anyone looking for a reliable webhost.
Nathan T.
I use Hosterr for multiple websites. I recommend them to anyone who needs hosting! I have never had an issue with downtime and my sites are blazing fast. Also their customer service is unmatched, leagues better than GoDaddy.
