Vinbound is an American company, but we have never viewed the wine industry through national boundaries. Since 2014 we’ve had the privilege of working with wineries and wine businesses in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina and Europe. These are the principles that guide how we work with every one of them.
Political relationships between countries change. Our respect for the people we work with doesn’t.
We believe international collaboration makes our industry stronger. Ideas should cross borders. Friendships should cross borders. Great design, technology and hospitality should cross borders.
We work with people, not political systems.
Our clients come from different countries, cultures and political perspectives. We don’t expect them to answer for the decisions of their governments, just as we wouldn’t want the actions of the U.S. government to define how anyone views an American business or an American neighbor.
Professional relationships can, and should, remain respectful, collaborative and human even when governments disagree.
A winery in British Columbia or New Zealand should be able to work with Vinbound as easily as a winery down the road in Oregon.
That means being thoughtful about time zones, ecommerce platforms, local regulations, currencies and the realities of operating in different markets.
When substantial exchange-rate differences make U.S. pricing disproportionately expensive, regional pricing adjustments may be available for international clients.
Wine has always connected people to places: regions, families, cultures and traditions from around the world.
We think the businesses serving this industry should reflect that same openness.
Vinbound is proud to be an American company, and equally proud that some of our longest and most valued relationships extend far beyond the United States.
Trade policy can change. Our relationships don’t.
Proudly working with wineries in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina and Europe.
Vinbound is proud to partner with the smartest agencies, marketers and independent talent out there. For the services we don’t offer directly, we connect our winery clients to the ideal partner vendors to get the job done beautifully.










Vinbound Marketing launched our side business WineryHunt Oregon in 2017. This exclusive membership program incentivizes wine tasters to visit a curated selection of wine tasting rooms via limited-time benefits. Each year, we feature a select group of wineries and share their story with members via email, website, and social media. WineryHunt club members receive a monthly email and other digital marketing campaigns introducing the Featured Wineries and providing driving directions and other trip details for an upcoming visit.
The program has been a resounding success for both consumers and wineries. Members often say they never would have visited the wineries without WineryHunt’s guidance, and wineries report very strong turnout, sales, and club signups. The model has proven itself a success and expanded to Washington in 2019 and Sonoma in 2020.
“Inbound marketing” is a marketing tactic which focuses on developing thorough, informative web content to organically attract viewers to your website and inspire action. Search engines reward this quality content by placing it higher in search results, and viewers reward quality content by becoming followers and customers. Vinbound is simply the extension of this marketing concept to the wine industry.
The double meaning of the word means to move towards wine or to be tied to wine (in the best sense possible).
It’s really the perfect name for our company and we have trademarked the crap out of it.
We have been known to do work with beer and spirits companies, but in general our core competency is in the wine industry. Beyond wineries, we have worked with numerous AVAs and DMOs, as well as importers, vineyard management companies, tour guides, wine bars, single vineyards, and more.
Vinbound’s Founder and Lead Developer Brian Richardson oversees all accounts and ensures all work provided by Vinbound meets and exceeds the standards of our winery clients.
We’ll keep you up to date on new technologies and wine marketing trends to be aware of
Vinbound offers SEO/GEO audits and services to improve your brand's presence across Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.
