Don't just take our word for it...listen to what our exhibitors say!
"A well attended show providing lots of timely, useful information. Very worthwhile. It was a useful, memorable and rewarding two days. This well organized show was rich in content with plenty of answers, ideas and best practices for our business."-Barrie Cleveland, California Winery Advisor
"The quality of the attendees was excellent. Probably 75 percent of the people who came by our booth were excellent leads. We look forward to next year."-Call For Wine, Mark Parton
"In 1998, I was one of five table top exhibitors who displayed at the first Tasting Room Profitability Trade Show. I was impressed with the concept of a show specifially for tasting room managers. V&WM does a great job of anticipating the industry needs and continues to fine-tune the approach. Vin Table appreciates the opportunity to be a part of the Tasting Room Profitability Show." -Roger Egleston, Vin Table
"Both days provided us with a solid stream of people who were interested in improving their businesses and growing their clubs. We had a tremendous response from attendees. The demonstrations never stopped and attendees had the opportunity to see exactly how solutions could seamlessly integrate with QuickBooks, membership card capabilities and other solutions on the market."-Theresa Dorr, Active Club Management
"As a seasoned trade show exhibitor, I can say with confidence that Vineyard & Winery Management presents the most vendor-friendly trade shows I've ever attended. The 2007 Tasting Room Profitability show was wonderfully active, with a nice steady stream of interested buyers. The wine tasting segment of the show is pure genius-it is a perfect ice-breaker as the buyers come to each booth to sample the wine provided to the exhibitors."-Shannon Waller, Revel in Your Winery, Team Dynamics, Inc.
