You built something worth growing. Now what?

Your wine sells itself in the tasting room. But what happens after someone leaves? And how do you get new people through the door? Most wineries know they should be doing more, but it keeps falling to the bottom of the list. Root picks it up. We dig into your customer data, build the strategy, and run the campaigns that bring new buyers in and keep them coming back, using the industry's most powerful tools and partners:

Don't see your platform? We work with all major DTC platforms. Ask about exclusive pricing with preferred partners.

About

Ariana founded Root to help boutique wineries build smarter growth strategies. After years in growth marketing for top tech and consumer companies, she moved into wine and found incredible brands in an industry still measuring the wrong things. Open rates, click rates, vanity metrics that don't pay the bills.

Wine marketing takes more than knowing the brand. It takes deep expertise in the platforms, the data, and the systems that actually drive growth. Root brings both. We dig into your customer data, build smart segmentation, and create lifecycle strategies that turn casual purchasers into high-lifetime-value club members.
