Jumping into the conversation a couple months late but I visited one of our clients on Treasure Island in San Francisco last Saturday and was pleasantly surprised. TreeCraft Distillery is very low key understated tasting experience. The island is (under construction) being bolstered as it is land fill that was built for the worlds fair in 1939. Now 1500 residential units and shops are planned, along with a ferry building facing the city with a million dollar view. Until the new fancy location is built TreeCraft has a very rustic setting to tour/taste and then select cocktails from their production line. They have beehives on top of their barn and collect the honey to make mead which is the starter to their vodka. The set up is pallets as tables and break down the set up each evening when they close. The afternoon I visited lots of people came with their dogs and chilled. Nate B. owner of TreeCraft uses Active's POS system to take names, send emails, get repeat business and now can ship within California so he is growing his business from the ground up. When TreeCraft moves into the new digs Nate and his crew will have a list of people to invite to the grand opening, offer special discounts to his club members and local fans and more. The expense of a tasting room is an investment into building your business more quickly with direct to consumer model in tandem with your wholesale model.

Just taking a quick survey on what different distilleries use in their tasting rooms to capture and manage customer sales, customer data, and inventory? Answer here or send me an email to debbie@activeclubsolutions.com.

Hey All! I am new to this site. But jumping into the conversation, I am a vendor for and frequently a consumer at Spirit Works Distillery in Sebastopol, California. They have a tasting room adjacent to their production and are located in a cool retail space with many other retailers in The Barlow. Amanda G. is the manager there and could offer insights to events they do. Active's ipad all in one POS system helps keep Spirit Works Distillery in sync with real time data in both inventory and customer data.
