In an effort to help consumers have some fun while sheltering in place, Walsh Family Wine has launched a virtual wine tasting series called DRINKWELL on Facebook Live.
Walsh Family Wine is a family-owned winery located in Purcellville, Virginia. Recently, the winery began selling a pack of three wines that can be purchased online and shipped directly to consumers. Customers can then log onto Facebook Live on Friday evenings to take part in a virtual tasting series called DRINKWELL. In these tastings, panelists walk through each wine, including tasting notes, the creation process, and ideal pairing ideas.
Despite the fact that consumers are stuck at home, brands like Walsh Family Wine have come up with clever ways to turn in-person experiences into virtual ones.
