Real stories from
our rock stars

I have been a wine guide with Traveling Vineyard for 6 years now!! It has really been a dream come true to be a business owner doing something I love, with the flexibility to be available to my 3 daughters. I joined on a whim 6 years ago, having never heard of Traveling Vineyard - I had never been to an event and had never tasted the wine. With no sales minimums, no inventory to carry, and a very LOW start up fee (like the amount of some leather boots), I said WINE not. If there is anything in the world you want to give a try - my advice is to go for it! Tomorrow is not promised. Traveling Vineyard has provided me and my family with a second full time income, FREE earned travel trips for me and my husband, and the flexibility to work around life. I have also found HUGE fulfillment in mentoring others to reach and succeed their goals. Cheers to #wineguidelife.

Wow! As I began to compose this testimonial, I honestly can’t believe it’s been 5 years already. I’m going to sound cliché and say that time really does fly when you’re having fun and doing something that you’re passionate about. Five years ago I started this journey with Traveling Vineyard simply to pay off some hefty medical bills that remained from my son’s neurological issues. What started off as a side gig in conjunction with my demanding full time job turned into a very fulfilling experience, so fulfilling that within 14 months I was a full time Wine Guide. This opportunity has provided me with so much more than the initial financial rewards... it’s provided me with all of the five F’s we often rave about, flexibility, fun, fulfillment and friendship. I’ve learned so much about myself over the past five years that have helped me with personal development to become a better mother, wife and businesswoman. This opportunity is about so much more than wine and a paycheck for most of us, it’s about finding a true sense of purpose. Traveling Vineyard has changed my life and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Can’t believe it’s been 2 years living the wine guide life! I’ve met some great people along the way and found a love for wines I never would have dreamed of! I love the flexibility and the fact that Traveling Vineyard is behind you 100%! It’s so much fun!

When I began this Wine Guide gig 3 years ago I was just trying to get out of the house and make a little money. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine how fulfilling this "job" would be. Between all of the new wine friends and family I have made, to helping me come out of my comfort zone, being able to talk in front of groups (just speaking for the first time at a Regional Meeting this last weekend) and traveling to new places on my own are just a few ways that Traveling Vineyard has helped me grow. I'm not sure where I would be if I hadn't found TV but I am so happy the opportunity came at just the right time! This is the best "job" I have ever had and I can't wait to see what this next year has in store! Cheers!

I have been a wine guide for 2 years and it’s been the best decision! Not only have I been getting paid to share amazing wine, but I have met some pretty amazing people along the way that have become some of my best friends. I also have learned so much about myself and found a real fulfillment that my full time job didn’t have.

Four years ago I made the decision to join Traveling Vineyard. It has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
I started out wanting to earn extra income. But it has become so much more.
It is flexible, I get to work as much as I want. I have made friendships, both with other wine guides and my hosts. It’s fun, I enjoy wine and sharing that passion with others. I have financial freedom to do fun things with the family.
This job has fulfilled a lot of wants and needs in my life. I can’t wait to see what the next year brings.

I have been a wine guide with Traveling Vineyard for 2 years and it was the best decision! In addition to sharing amazing wine with people and getting paid for it, I have gained some amazing friends that I would have never met otherwise. I have also learned so much about myself and unlocked a side of me I didn’t know was there! As an educator I was not tapping into these entrepreneurial skills I learned I had, nor did I know I would feel so empowered by them!

I began my Wine Guide journey 2 years ago. I left my school counseling job to be a stay at home momma, but still needed to work to bring home an income. I started this job solely for financial reasons to allow me to stay home. However, it has morphed into so much more for me. I never could of imagined the sense of fulfillment this job brings me now. Being a stay at home mom, I spend a lot of my time with 2 babies, in my yoga pants at home. My wine tastings give me the opportunity to get dressed up, have some me time, and mingle with other ADULTS! It's like getting paid to go to happy hour a couple times a week. This job never feels like work because I always look forward to the days I have wine tastings. It's also hard as a mom to do things for yourself or have things to yourself. I love being a wine guide, because this business is something outside of my stay at home role to call my own.

Outside of fulfillment, I would say I never realized how much fun this job would bring me. I love wine and I love going to wine tastings. It doesn't get much better to be able to make money while doing the things I love. I also just went on my first Luxx incentive trip with the company. My husband and I hadn't been away together in over 2 years, since we started having kids. So, 5 days in Costa Rica, all expenses paid was pretty freaking fabulous for our marriage and for our overall well-being! After just 1 year in the company, I earned this trip for my husband and myself. I had zero wine experience and zero sales experience and I still landed in the top 1% of the company in just 1 year. That is yet another thing that makes this company great. Anyone can be successful. I thank God all the time for bringing Traveling Vineyard into my life. My quality of life is the best it's ever been because I am able to live out my dream of staying home with my kids all thanks to my wine business. :) The happiness and gratitude I feel is immeasurable!

I just hit my 2 year anniversary with Traveling Vineyard. The time has flown by. I love the wine business. It's flexible and the parties are always fun...who doesn't love sampling free wine?! I've slowed down a bit but am planning on booting back up in 2020!

I just celebrated my 3 years with Traveling Vineyard and boy has it flown by. My initial reasoning for signing up was to get 20% off of the best wine I have ever tasted but something change in me after I went to my very first Harvest in Vegas! It ignited me and opened up my eyes to this world I never imagined I wanted to do. I never knew how much I needed this in my life. The fulfillment and friendships I have gained from this are priceless. I have also learned how to set and achieve goals as a result from this company. I’m so glad I decided to join, I wouldn’t change it for the world!!!
