Real stories from
our rock stars

Wow, what a year! I can't believe a year ago I was making the decision to join Traveling Vineyard. I joined for the financial rewards, but definitely have experienced so much more. Being a wineguide has allowed me to reconnect with friends from high school, build stronger friendships with people that used to just be acquaintances and to build new friendships. I have always loved wine, but now I feel like I not only love it, but I have learned so much about it. I even have people send me pictures of food and ask me which wine they should drink with it! AND, Traveling Vineyard truly does what is best for their wineguides. They believe in us and create a business model that meets our needs and theirs. Sip Sip Hooray for getting so many benefits for just sharing great wine with fun people!

I just celebrated my 3 anniversary with Traveling Vineyard, and it has been the most awesome three years of my life! I have experienced so much personal growth, that in itself would have been totally worth joining this company! But, I've also made incredible friends, earned a nice extra income, and earned a once in a lifetime trip to Costa Rica. I've never been with a company that has placed so much importance on the happiness and success of it's work force. I am humbled by the love and encouragement I receive from Rick Libby, all of our cheerleaders, and fellow wine guides on a daily basis. Cheers to many more years!

I have been a guide for 3 years now, it has been an AMAZING ride! The wine sells itself and I love sharing it with others!

When I joined Traveling Vineyard 4 years ago I was looking for another stream of income to help me. I'm a single mama and my oldest son was in his senior year of high school. I saw all the upcoming expenses that would bring me so I started to google ways to make money from home. I had done other DS companies in the past and I was not interested in keeping inventory or dealing with peoples' money or lugging around a ton of display items for in home events.

What I found from TV was so much more! I didn't expect to be a part of such an amazing company where I have met so many fabulous people, and formed so many amazing friendships! From people all the way at the top, to Directors and Leaders cross country, and the countless wineguides I have met and bonded with, and the countless hosts and guests that I have continued to socialize with and have friendships with. Not to mention my wine mama Niqui Douglas and our whole Poppin' Bottles Team.

Lastly, I have had "new car" on my vision board every year for the past 3 years. Well, 4 months ago I was able to make that a reality when I was finally able to afford a new (to me) car. I wanted to make sure I was consistently making the money each month with TV to be able to cover the cost of the payments and insurance. Thank you Traveling Vineyard for making that a reality for me!

I cant wait to pivot my business to continue to be successful in fulfilling my long and short term goals with this amazing company.

Becoming a Traveling Vineyard wine guide was just what I needed to fulfill a sense of purpose when I retired from teaching high school.
Now 3 years retired, I consider myself a “wine boss” also now know as “wine lady” in my community. ????I’ve realized there a lot people who just want to drink wine, relax and be social! Well me too and my tasting events provide a reason to do just that! I get to teach about and share my love of food and amazing wine with great friends and neighbors. What’s better than a wine job mixed with fun, earning extra income, going on incentive trips & conventions, and being a part of the wine guide nation celebration!
Not much!
Thank you Traveling Vineyard!
My cup(wineglass) runneth over! ??????

So far, this has been a good experience. Not only have I met great people, but I've learned so much about wine and what pairs with it.

This has been a fun experience so far. I've met great people and have learned so much about wine. I've ever learned to explore wines and food pairing I use to stay away from. Being with Traveling Vineyard is so much more than just the wine. Cheers!

My only regret about joining Traveling Vineyard is that I didn't do it sooner. I joined this amazing family 3 years ago for some extra income, but it has evolved into so much more. This business is flexible, which is what I need working full time and being a mom! Additionally, it helped me find a confidence I had lost and gave me opportunities to reach accomplishments that are all my own. Cheers to you, Traveling Vineyard! I'm so glad to be here.

This is hands down the best side hustle you could have. Relationships are always the most important tome and I have made some amazing friendships with other wine guides and also at my tastings. It’s so much fun, you get to try so many different wines and you couldn’t ask for a better community than the people with Traveling Vineyard!

FIVE YEARS! I celebrated my five year wineaversary this year and I couldn't be happier! Being a wine guide is so much more than wine. Wine is our tool, but it's the friendships, the laughs, and the fun that keeps us going! Being a Wine Guide is the BEST side gig ever. The money I earned from Traveling Vineyard allowed me to take my children to Disney World for the first time this past June and that is something we will never forgot. I truly don't feel it would have been possible if it wasn't for this side gig. The Luxx Getway to Costa Rica was one of my favorite accomplishments and something to look forward to now every year. I can't wait to see where the next five years takes me! CHEERS!
