I was reading an article about early-spring gardening tasks, and they were suggesting that May was a great time for maintenance. The types of things recommended, such as cleaning and sharpening tools, checking bulbs and seeds for moisture or mold, mulching existing flower beds, and planning for new ones, all made sense and almost inspired me enough to get off the warm couch and go out to my shed to investigate. But, because I’m a nerd, my mind immediately followed the theme to a digital correlation.  Websites are a virtual “garden.” Their goal is to appeal to customers, draw them in and create an inviting setting so they may stay awhile. We design new sections within them, like adding blogs or recipes, we plant new products and SKUs and prune old ones no longer available.

There can be Wine Club members in our Membership Lounge, groups of people enjoying tastings in our Cabanas in the Redwood Cellar Gardens, guests from the Wine Train enjoying a private tour and tasting daily, a private corporate event at the Carriage House, and a Comedy show in the evening in the Tasting Room. As Vice President of Guest Relations, the routine of managing large crowds is not new to me. What is new is the various and creative event ideas my team will need to execute this spring/summer as things begin to reopen. Charles Krug Winery is proudly Napa Valley’s oldest winery and still family owned by the Mondavi family (4th Generation). But we are in a unique position of being one of the few wineries that can host events large and small at the winery. In the crowded landscape that is Wine Country, it is important to stand out from the crowd and create experiences that bring people to the winery with the goal to
