Hi everyone, I have a question for those who have experience on the production or brand side of wine. I’m currently building a concept that blends curated wine experiences with botanical wellness, and I’m exploring pathways to eventually introduce a wine component under my own brand. At this stage, I’m not looking to produce from scratch, but rather to understand: Which vineyards, wineries, or distributors offer private label or white label opportunities What strong partnership models look like when you’re still building alignment with your brand And what to be mindful of when entering this space without compromising quality or identity If anyone is open to sharing insight or pointing me in the right direction, I’d truly appreciate it.

I’m hosting a Wine & Charcuterie Board class, and the venue cost is $95 per person. That means I’d have to charge $125 on Eventbrite just to make a profit. My class size would be 10 minimum, 18 max, and I’m really wondering how folks are handling costs right now. Are guests still willing to pay for curated experiences, or are high ticket prices making it harder to fill events?
