Building on Chapter 3 of The 2025 Guide to Wine Club Growth
Most wineries focus their social media efforts on Instagram and Facebook, and for good reason. These platforms are great for engagement and community building.
But what if you could create content once and have it work for you for months or even years?
That’s where Pinterest comes in.
While other platforms push fleeting content, Pinterest is different. It’s not just a social network—it’s a visual search engine where users actively look for inspiration. And for wineries, that’s a goldmine.
Think about it: People go to Pinterest to plan experiences—from hosting a dinner party to discovering new wines to try. If your winery isn’t there, you’re missing out on potential members who are already in the mindset to explore and buy.
Why Pinterest Works for Wine Club Growth
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Longevity | Your content doesn’t disappear—it keeps generating engagement long after you post. |
| High Intent Users | People on Pinterest aren’t just scrolling—they’re searching for wine recommendations, pairings, and hosting inspiration. |
| SEO Powerhouse | Pinterest ranks well on Google, meaning your content gets visibility beyond just the platform. |
| Perfect for Lifestyle | Wine naturally pairs with food, travel, and entertaining—all top-performing Pinterest categories. |
| Direct Website Traffic | Every Pin links back to your website, making it a direct funnel to your wine club sign-up page. |
Key Takeaway: Pinterest isn’t about chasing likes or engagement—it’s about creating evergreen content that keeps bringing potential members back to you.
How to Use Pinterest to Grow Your Wine Club
Step 1: Create High-Quality, Searchable Pins
Not all Pins perform the same. The best ones are visually engaging, informative, and clickable. Think of each Pin as a mini advertisement for your winery.
| What Works | Examples and Tips |
|---|---|
| Bright, high-quality images | Showcase your wine, vineyard, and tasting experiences. |
| Overlay text | Use clear headlines like “Perfect Wine & Cheese Pairing” or “5 Wines to Try This Fall.” |
| Searchable descriptions | Include terms like “best red wines for summer” or “how to host a wine tasting party.” |
| Vertical images | Stick to a 2:3 ratio—Pinterest prioritizes tall images in the feed. |
Pro Tip: Pinterest favors quality. Avoid low-resolution or overly text-heavy graphics.
Step 2: Focus on the Right Types of Content
Pinterest is all about inspiration and planning. The more your content helps users learn something or create an experience, the better it performs.
| Content Type | Example Topics |
|---|---|
| Wine & Food Pairing Guides | “Best Wines for a Holiday Dinner” or “5 Unexpected Wine & Chocolate Pairings.” |
| Entertaining Tips | “How to Host the Ultimate Wine Tasting at Home.” |
| Seasonal Wine Inspiration | “Perfect Summer Wines to Sip on the Patio.” |
| Gift Guides | “The Best Gifts for Wine Lovers” (a great way to promote memberships as gifts). |
| Behind-the-Scenes Content | Show harvest updates, barrel tastings, winemaker stories, or winery events. |
Key Takeaway: People go to Pinterest for ideas. Provide inspiration first—and introduce your wine club naturally.
Step 3: Optimize for Pinterest SEO (So People Find Your Pins)
Because Pinterest functions like a search engine, keywords matter. Think like your ideal wine club member. What are they searching for?
| Optimization Strategy | How to Do It |
|---|---|
| Keyword-rich titles | “Best Wines for Cozy Fall Nights” is better than “Our Fall Releases.” |
| Detailed Pin descriptions | Solve a problem or answer a question—don’t just sell. |
| Hashtags | Use relevant terms like #winetasting, #winepairing, #wineclub. |
| Optimized board names | Instead of “Join Our Club,” try “Exclusive Wine Club Perks & Benefits” to improve search visibility. |
A/B Testing Tip: Try two versions of a Pin—one focusing on seasonal content, one on pairing guides—and see what gets more engagement.
Step 4: Organize Your Content with Pinterest Boards
Pinterest Boards act like content folders, helping users explore multiple related Pins at once. Think of them as mini content hubs for different wine lifestyle categories.
| Board Idea | What It Showcases |
|---|---|
| Wine & Food Pairings | Recipes and pairing guides featuring your wines. |
| Behind the Scenes | Harvest updates, winemaking processes, vineyard snapshots. |
| Wine Club Perks & Benefits | A highlight reel of what makes membership special. |
| Gift Ideas for Wine Lovers | Especially useful during holidays and occasions—promote wine club gifts here. |
| Seasonal Wine Inspiration | Keep your content timely with spring rosés, fall reds, and more. |
Key Takeaway: Organized, keyword-rich boards improve discoverability and keep your content evergreen.
Step 5: Turn Pinterest Traffic into Wine Club Sign-Ups
Pinterest is great for discovery, but how do you turn casual browsers into club members?
| Conversion Strategy | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| Link every Pin to a landing page | Give people a next step: blog, wine club page, or lead magnet. |
| Offer a freebie | A pairing guide or tasting checklist in exchange for email = win. |
| Use Rich Pins | These pull real-time info and product details right into Pinterest. |
| Run Pinterest Ads | Promote high-performing Pins to expand reach to wine lovers actively planning experiences. |
Pro Tip: A Pin that simply says “Join Our Wine Club” won’t perform well. Offer real value first, then present the club as the logical next step.
Final Thoughts: Why Pinterest Deserves a Spot in Your Winery’s Marketing Plan
Most wineries overlook Pinterest, but those who use it strategically see long-term wine club growth.
- Pins can drive traffic for months or even years.
- Wine lovers actively search for pairing ideas, events, and seasonal inspiration.
- Pinterest content ranks on Google, giving your winery even more visibility.
- A well-structured Pinterest strategy can turn casual browsers into loyal wine club members.
If your winery isn’t actively using Pinterest to drive traffic, engagement, and memberships, now is the time to start.
