Traveling Vineyard - Our Thoughts

  • Company Overview

    Traveling Vineyard first started its operations in 2001. A subsidiary of the popular wine cataloger, Geerlings & Wade, it did not take too long for The Traveling Vineyard to make a name for itself in the direct sales industry. What sets the company apart from other companies in direct sales is their product base. While not the only company to distribute wine in a direct sales format, the Traveling Vineyard still offers a taste of something new to interested consultants. In an industry comprised mainly of companies specializing in cosmetics, candles, and home products, the Traveling Vineyard is certainly a breath of fresh air for those who are looking for something new to venture into. Offering a wide selection of high-quality wines distributed all over the United States through their team of independent wine consultants, The Traveling Vineyard successfully merges wine tasting parties with the direct selling home party plan system.

    Traveling Vineyard Wines

    The Traveling Vineyard offers different wine selections to suit different tastes and preferences. Apart from their wide selection of wines, they also offer a variety of wine accessories to take care of all your wine-drinking and party needs.

Their selection features Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon, Orvieto, and Inzelia, among others. You can find wines prepared in the United States, France, Italy, Australia, Spain, and other countries.

The Traveling Vineyard is a great company to work for! Not only do I get to set my own hours, but I get to make money while socializing with friends and meeting new people. The wines we sell are all reasonably priced and taste delicious. I love putting together wine tasting events and teaching others about pairings and different wine regions. The Traveling Vineyard also offers plenty of online resources so I can always continue learning about the different wines. Being a Wine Guide doesn’t feel like work, it honestly feels like a fun hobby where you get paid for doing what you love.

I have been a Wine Guide with Traveling Vineyard since 2011 and I absolutely love the company, the product and our in-home wine tastings! Our company motto is "Work Hard, Be Kind." That right there is just awesome. It's not just a motto though, it's a way of life that our entire tribe of Wine Guides has embodied. We work together, we support one another and we are working towards helping others achieve their dreams and goals. Becoming a Wine Guide was the best decision I could have possibly made for myself and my family.
