Keywords for wineries: the searches behind a visit

These are real searches typed into Google by adults planning a tasting room visit, an event or a tour. They are grouped by cask size and by the errand behind each phrase, so a winery can see which pages to build first and which searches belong to someone else.

Where these phrases come from

How to read these keywords for wineries by cask size

We pulled 667 search phrases from four starting points: winery near me, wine tasting, winery wedding venue and vineyard tours. These keywords for wineries are sorted by size below, a rough sort of monthly Google searches, not a forecast of visits. A Tank is a phrase searched in very large numbers, a Barrel in large numbers, a Case in modest numbers and a Single bottle in small ones.

Nothing here names a grape, a region or a brand, and phrases that contain a winery name were left out on purpose. Alcohol is a restricted category on Google, Bing and Meta, so the owner reads each platform's current rules before any of these phrases is bought as a keyword.

Keywords for wineries from visitors choosing a tasting room

The first group is the visit itself: an adult who wants a tasting room within reach.

Searches that belong to someone else's cellar

Some phrases carry winery words but come from people with a different errand. Glassware shopping, job hunting, retail shops and bar searches all show up in the pull, along with a large block of searches that name a restaurant chain or a particular winery. We keep those out of ad accounts as negative keywords and never print them here.

Price searches are left out of this page as well, because this agency states nothing about what anything costs.

Phrases for the negative list

Questions about this list of keywords for wineries

Why are volumes shown as cask sizes?

Exact monthly numbers move from month to month and are not a promise of visits, so the page sorts phrases into four sizes instead.

Can a winery bid on every phrase here?

Not necessarily. Each platform sets its own rules for alcohol ads, and the owner reads and approves them before a phrase is bought.

Where do brand and region searches go?

They are left out of the list. A phrase that names another winery, a chain or a place belongs to a different errand, so it is kept off the ad account.

How often is the winery list refreshed?

When a winery signs up, the list is pulled again for its own calendar and its own towns, so the sizes here are a starting point only.

Tell us which tasting room page should come first

Write about the offerings and events you host and the towns your visitors come from, and we will sort these keywords for wineries against them.

Which part of the winery needs people first?

Think of the visitors you want more of: tasting reservations, events or club sign-ups, and the towns they drive in from. Please keep guest names and private details out of the note.

Tell us about the winery and its next busy weekend

Say which part of the winery needs more visitors and which towns you draw from. A few lines will do.

Choose a day, then a half hour. At that moment the number you gave above rings, with our CEO Ross Cohen on the line.

Pick the hour for the call

The hour you choose is written out here.

Offered starts are weekday half hours, written out in whichever zone the box above is set to.

Start with one call about your cellar door

On the call we choose what the winery needs first: a page for the tasting room, one for events, one for each town that sends visitors, or ads for a release weekend. Beginning carries no extra charge, and nothing you sign locks in a later month.
