Your event is content. Treat it that way.

The flowers will come down. The tables will be cleared. The last bottle will be emptied.

But a thoughtfully planned winery event can keep working for your brand long after the guests go home.

We approach events with two goals: create an exceptional experience for the people in the room, and capture enough of the story to inspire the people who weren't.

Great photography, video and storytelling can turn one dinner into months of social, email, website and wine club content.

The event may last one evening. The story should last much longer. Read on for more insights at DUNSTANCREATIVE.COM/BLOG

The secret to showing up on social media? Actually show up.

Not just when you have a new release to sell.

Not just when tickets go on sale.

Not just when you remembered you haven't posted in three weeks.

Show us the bottling line. The cellar rats. What's on the lunch table. The view from today's tasting. The bottle you're opening tonight. The small moments that make your brand yours.

You don't need every post to be perfectly polished. You need your presence to feel consistent, relevant and human.

Because social media isn't simply another place to advertise your wine. It's an opportunity to invite people into your world—and give them a reason to want to be part of it.

Show up. Tell the story. Build the relationship. The sales will follow.

One of the greatest luxuries of building my own business has been the ability to choose.

To choose work that excites me. Clients I believe in. Projects where I know I can make a meaningful contribution. And, most importantly, people I genuinely enjoy working alongside.

As a female founder, I've learned that growth doesn't always have to mean more. More clients. More projects. More hours.

Sometimes success looks like becoming more selective.

I'm incredibly grateful that Dunstan Creative has reached a place where I can focus on relationships that feel collaborative, respectful and inspiring, and work with people who care as deeply about what they're creating as I do.

I love my job. I love the people I get to do it with. And I don't take for granted the freedom I've built to say yes to the work that feels right.

That's my definition of success these days.

If every social media post asks your customer for something, eventually they're going to stop listening.

Buy this. Book this. Join this. RSVP here.

Social media shouldn't be a winery's digital bulletin board.

The strongest feeds build familiarity between the asks. They introduce us to the people, places, traditions, personalities and everyday moments that make a winery distinctive.

Educate us. Entertain us. Take us behind the scenes. Give us a reason to comment, save, share—or simply remember you the next time we're deciding what bottle to open.

Email is often where we convert. Social media is where we build the relationship that makes conversion easier.

Happy National Dog Day to the unofficial ambassadors of wine country. 🐾🍷

They greet guests, patrol the vineyards, supervise photoshoots, attend meetings they weren't invited to, and somehow always find the best patch of sunshine at the winery.

We love how often four-legged family members become part of a winery's story—and some of our favorite events wouldn't be complete without them.

Today, we're raising a glass to the vineyard dogs, winery dogs, office dogs and beloved companions who make every day a little more joyful.

Harvest is happening. Is your camera ready?

Harvest gives wineries something marketers spend all year trying to create: an authentic story unfolding in real time.

The early mornings. The first bins. The cellar team. The stained hands. The winemaker tasting fruit in the vineyard.

Don't wait until the wine is in bottle to start telling its story.

Capture the vintage now—and build a library of content you can use through release day and beyond.

There’s something special about helping carry forward a tradition that began long before us.

Next month marks our fourth year providing creative direction and event planning for Schramsberg Vineyards’ annual Saber Society Dinner, an evening dedicated to celebrating the winery’s top sales representatives from across the country.

Each year, our goal is to create an experience worthy of that recognition: thoughtful, memorable and unmistakably Schramsberg. From the setting and menu to the wines, lighting, music, tablescape and engraved wine sabers, every detail is considered in the context of the people being honored.

We love that our role isn’t to reinvent this longstanding tradition, but to help it evolve, finding fresh ways each year to celebrate the people who champion Schramsberg around the country.

Now, back to planning year four. 🥂

I think what I connect with most about this photo is the position of the chair in the foreground.

It's ready for me.

ME.

In an instant I'm transported to this table, placing the napkin on my lap and sipping from that glass of chilled rosé as my hair dances in the breeze like the wildflowers.

I want to be here. Better plan that trip - and order some of that UNITY Rosé in the meantime.

Details matter.
