Behind the Numbers:
The Business Impact of Hosting Wine Experiences

Wine experiences booked online are not about big groups filling your bar once in a while.
On Winedering, most bookings come from couples or small groups of 2–4 people. This makes tastings simple to host, easy to manage, and reliable. Even with these small numbers, the financial impact is significant. Let’s break it down.

The Value of a Small Experience

Imagine a quiet Tuesday afternoon when you normally have few bookings. Instead, you host a tasting for two couples:

  • 4 travelers

  • €25 per person

  • 1-hour tasting with 3 wines and a small pairing

Revenue: €100

That’s €100 during a time that would otherwise generate zero. Multiply that across several quiet slots and the results are clear.


Scaling to a Month

Most wine bars don’t need large groups to make a difference. Just a few small bookings per week already add up:

  • 2 tastings per week × €100 = €200 weekly

  • 4 weeks = €800 monthly extra

  • 12 months = nearly €10,000 additional yearly revenue

And this is without considering upsells, bottles sold after the tasting, or additional consumption

Long-Term Benefits

Beyond the immediate revenue, hosting small wine experiences creates ripple effects:

  • Upselling potential: Many guests order more drinks or purchase bottles.

  • Visibility: Tourists leave online reviews, attracting future clients.

  • Balance: Experiences diversify your customer base between locals and travelers.

  • Stability: Pre-paid bookings give certainty compared to random walk-ins.

The Role of Winedering

Because travelers use Winedering to search and book wine activities, your bar becomes visible to an international audience looking for exactly this kind of experience.

And since bookings are pre-paid, you don’t have to worry about no-shows. Even with small groups of 2–4 people, the steady flow of bookings builds a new revenue stream over time.

Conclusion

The numbers are simple: a couple of bookings per week, even just 2–4 people, can add thousands of euros per year to your revenue. Wine tourism in cities is not about scale — it’s about consistency.
