A website for the winery that welcomes visitors
Someone planning a winery visit wants to know what the tour includes, how long it takes, the price per person, which languages it runs in and how to book a time. If your website is mostly about the wines, those answers end up at the bottom of a tab.
Forest tells the place, not the bottle, and it tells it in six of your photos: the winery in the morning, the vines, the barrel room, the tasting, the terrace with the sun low and the building lit up at night. Each photo opens up in depth as the page scrolls, gives way to the next from the far end first, and the light follows the times you write. Your words sit over each moment.
It ends on the tour card, with the price per person, the tour times, how long it lasts and the group size, and a button to your booking page. What people see are your vines and your cellar, because the photos are yours.
What your site shows
The estate in the morning
The first photo is the winery from outside, early light on the front or on the vines around it. Over it: the winery’s name, your headline and a line saying where you are, your appellation if you have one, and that you welcome visitors.
The vines, early
First moment: a photo down a row, the vines running away into the distance. In your words, this is the vineyard’s hour — the walk between the rows, the grape that leads, the month’s work, and harvest if it’s the season, given as “usually late September” since it moves from year to year.
The barrel room
The photo of the room, taken along a line of barrels so the far end shows. Your text goes down with it: the cool, the quiet, how long each wine spends there.
The tasting
Third photo: the tasting table with the glasses poured, indoors or on the terrace. Time to say how many wines, what comes with them and where it happens.
The terrace in the golden light
The fourth moment is the terrace or the vines with the sun low; give it a late-afternoon hour and the photo takes on that tone. If you host dinners, sunset tastings or concerts, they belong here; if not, tell how a visit ends.
Book the tour
The tour card sits over your last photo, the winery lit at dusk: price per person, the tour times, how long it takes and how many can come. The button opens your booking tool, where people choose a day and a time.
Have this ready
- Six photos, all required: the winery from outside, the vines, the barrel room, the tasting, the terrace with the sun low and the winery lit up as night falls. Each should be 1,600 px or larger on its long side.
- The winery’s name and a short tagline, shown above the headline and used in the page title.
- A sentence on where you are, your appellation if you have one, and the visits you offer.
- What a tour includes: how long it lasts, how many wines, which languages, what times.
- Four moments of a day at the winery; for each, the time, a title and a few sentences.
- The price per person and the largest group you take.
- The link to your tour booking page, or a Stripe payment link.
- Your online shop’s link, if you have one, for the footer beside your profiles; and for the legal notice, the company’s legal name, tax number, address and an email.
Worth knowing
Tour times on the card
The small print under the booking title is the place for your tour times — “Tuesday to Sunday, 11am and 5pm” — and for what changes at harvest. Anyone who reads it there reaches the button already knowing which slot to look for.
Book times, not just payments
A Stripe payment link takes the money for a tour, but it doesn’t choose a day or a time, or cap the numbers. If you run tours with limited places, point the button at a booking tool with time slots.
Children and drivers
Say whether children can come on the tour — tasting is only for those of legal drinking age — and whether there’s something alcohol-free. Remind drivers they can taste without drinking: the spittoon is part of any proper tasting.
Glasses in shot, with care
In the tasting photos, leave out anyone who is, or looks, under age holding a glass, and anything that links wine with driving: both are common limits in the laws and industry codes on alcohol advertising. Check the ones that apply to your winery before you publish.
Questions
- Will my vineyards be on the site?
- Yes — the ones in your photos, each with its own depth, the camera moving a little way along the rows or towards the back of the cellar. It isn’t a 3D model of the estate to explore; visitors see what your six photos show, in the order of the day you tell.
- Do I have to upload my photos anywhere?
- No. Your browser brings them down to 2,048 px at most and re-encodes them, which removes the location stored inside, and your computer works out their depth. The first photo waits for the model to arrive — about 46 MB from promti.app, downloaded once; then a recent computer takes seconds for all six, and one without WebGPU about 4–5 seconds each.
- What if the vines aren’t at their best right now?
- You can’t buy without all six photos, and the 3D won’t change the season: what’s in them is what visitors will see. You can publish with what you have — the building, the barrels and the tasting don’t depend on the month — and swap the vineyard photo when the leaves are out or at harvest: open the wizard in the same browser, replace it and download again, with nothing more to pay.
- Can the site be in Spanish as well as English?
- One language per site: English or Spanish, chosen in the wizard’s first question. If you welcome both, think about which group books more before you decide — and say in the tour’s moment which languages you guide in.
- Can I sell wine through it?
- No — Forest isn’t a shop. If you have an online shop, link it from the footer, which holds up to six links, each with its own name; and if you sell bottles at the cellar door, say so in the tasting moment.
