Since our start in 2014, the quality of our work and attention to the specific nuances of wine marketing has made Vinbound a standout marketing partner for wineries. Over the last nine years, we have worked with over 250 wineries throughout North America.
Our home is among the vineyards of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, yet our services are provided to aspiring wineries everywhere. Vinbound has partnered with amazing talent since our beginnings and offers a full suite of digital marketing services and consulting to help wineries of all sizes.
Brian Richardson started Vinbound in 2014 to build websites for wineries he had befriended in Oregon’s Willamette Valley (Prior to starting Vinbound, Brian was Assistant Director of the International Pinot Noir Celebration). From day one, Brian has been the lead designer and developer of all Vinbound Marketing websites. He continues to be the first point of contact for new clients and leads overall strategy and vision for our partner wineries.

“Working with Brian at Vinbound Marketing was a great experience! He built two custom websites for us, each with its own unique brand style. His unrivaled customer support and attentiveness exemplify his dedication and passion for what he does and ensured he met our business’s specific needs promptly. The reaction to both of our new web sites has been overwhelmingly positive, and we couldn’t be happier with the end result!”
Kateland Harvey, Domaine Drouhin Oregon

“The website is stunning and exactly what we had envisioned! Elegant, powerful, informative and inspiring. A very sincere thank you to Vinbound.”
Karin Warnelius-Miller, Alexander Valley Winegrowers
“Last week, we had a lovely couple visit us from Washington. They had done research on which wineries to visit and chose us. The design and the content of the website was their deciding factor. The husband, turns out, is a very high level executive with Microsoft. He raved about our website. He said it was one of the best winery websites he had ever seen!”
Gabirele Keeler, Keeler Estate Vineyard
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.
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.
Yes! While the majority of our clients have been based in the United States and Canada, we are completely open to working with wineries throughout the world (and have done so already with wonderful wineries in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Europe).
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.
