Real stories from
our rock stars

I have been a wine guide officially for three years now and it is hard to imagine my life without it. I joined on a complete whim from what we now call a decider event and I didn't even know why I said yes other than the fact that I had so much fun at a tasting and I thought I could make a little bit of money from it. I'm still having a BLAST at my tastings, still making money and met two of my best friends because of Traveling Vineyard. I still work a full time job on top of my wine business but have the flexibility at my 9-5 to do a lot of wine work there. In a few short weeks I'll be on my second LUXX trip with the company and have my eyes set on earning a third one this Spring. The WineGuideLife is one I don't see myself parting ways with. It has put a piece in my life puzzle that was lost and I had no idea that I needed to strongly. I look forward to the next 3, and the next 3 after that!

Two years!!!

Two years ago I started this wineguide journey. For the longest time I have worked a second job. Im not crafty or creative, but my passion for wine is now my “hobby”! My part time job at winery was a blast but hubby was deployed and the long weekends away were hard to leave Keegan. I answered a Facebook ad and here I am two years later loving it so much.
I thought it would just pay for my monthly wine, it has been much more than that!!! What I got was so much greater than that. I developed more PURPOSE in my life. Gained more friendships and an even bigger love for wine.
I didn’t plan to grow a team at all but once I did it has been a blast. Love getting to share this job with others and helping them with their goals and their business. My team is slowly growing and even a few have their own wine babies and that excites me when they reach their goals of growing a team! Looking forward to bringing some newbies to Harvest this year as I know it will help them even more with their goals as it has for me!!!

Becoming a wine guide helped me come out my shell. It gave me an opportunity to not only meet new people but to make money while doing it!

When I joined Traveling Vineyard 2 years ago, it was to learn more about wine and have some fun outside of my 40 hour work week. I had no idea that I would be able to replace enough of that income to quit my j.o.b. I now have the flexibility to enjoy more time with my grandkids, my retired husband and my hobbies. The friendships that I have made through my tastings and with other Wine Guides are priceless! Wine truly brings people together and I am having the time of my life!

I just celebrated my 2 year wineaversary and I can't say enough about how wonderful it is to be part of the #wineguidelife. This company is totally amazing. The flexibility, the friendship and the fun keep me going each month. The financial reward and fulfillment is the icing on the cake. It's so exciting to meet new people, talk about wine and see them experience the "wow" food parings for the first time. Before Traveling Vineyard, I had no idea how much food can affect the taste of the wine. I am thankful for being introduced to Traveling Vineyard. The knowledge I have gained will last me a lifetime.

I started with TV a year ago! I have loved every minute! I love all the other wine guides and wine drinkers I have met and have became friends with! I love all the rewards I receive just for having fun and drinking wine. I have learned so much from this company and still learn more every day. Everyone is so helpful! Not to mention the great wine!! I was only a sweet drinker when I started, now I enjoy it all! I can go on and on about how much of a blast I have with this “part time job”, (if you want to call it that), it’s more of a “fun time job”!! Can’t wait to keep growing MY business with TV.

It’s strange to think that just over a year ago I had never heard of Traveling Vineyard because it has become such an important part of my life and I really can’t imagine life without it now. I joined the company because I loved wine and was thrilled to discover that it was possible to get paid to drink it. I thought I would have some fun and make a little extra cash, which I did. But Traveling Vineyard has given me so much more than I expected. In the last year I have made new best friends, reconnected with old ones, helped people discover wines they love, and grown in ways I never imagined. I am so grateful for this gift and look forward to many more years of sharing wine with the world!

When I decided to become a Wine Guide my family was thought “what is she thinking, she’s so busy!” For me this was something I wanted to do to make sure I allowed myself a social life as well as bring in some extra money for fun things. Traveling Vineyards is constantly surprising me with their compassion for not only their guides but as well as their buyers. I love everything they stand for. This community is exactly what I wanted and needed. I can’t wait to see what the next year has in store for me!

I can’t believe it has been a YEAR as a Wine Guide with Traveling Vineyard!!! Who knew that in hosting a tasting, that I would be introduced to a new, fun, and fulfilling “job”!? Sharing my love of wine AND food has been a blessing, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I can’t wait to see where this Wine Guide Life takes me next, and how many more I can share this gift of wine and laughter with!!

Joining Traveling Vineyard 4 years ago was the best decision I've ever made! At the time, I was looking for something flexible, fun and that paid more money than I was currently making at my part-time seasonal job. It seemed like a tall order! I came across an ad on Facebook that said, "Get paid to share wine with the world!" I sent my info that night and was in contact with my upline within the hour. Without ever being to a tasting or tasting the wine, I jumped in and have never looked back! It's definitely fun, I have the flexibility that I want and I make the money I need to help to support my family. What I didn't expect were the friends that I'd make. That wasn't even on my radar! Whether it's other wine guides from all over the country or my hosts and guests, my friend circle is definitely bigger and richer for the people that I've met. I also had no idea that what I really craved was a sense of self and a sense of accomplishment in my work. I have that in spades! I've accomplished things I never thought possible. I'm in control of my schedule, my paycheck and my success. I'm truly a better version of myself. If I'd have known 4 years ago where I'd be today, the only thing I'd change is that I would have started sooner!
