Case Study
Chappellet
Beyond the Bottle,
Bringing the Wine Experience to Life
Turning exceptional wines into stories of discovery, taste, and memorable moments.
Chappellet is one of Napa Valley's renowned family-owned wineries, celebrated for its exceptional mountain-grown wines and rich winemaking heritage on Pritchard Hill.
The opportunity was to create a more personal and engaging experience for Chappellet's wine club members, connecting them directly with the winemaker and bringing the unique character of each wine to life.
Our challenge was to go beyond traditional tasting notes and wine descriptions to create something more meaningful — an experience that would help members discover the story behind each wine, understand its distinctive qualities, and imagine the food, occasions, and moments that make it special.
What We Did that Was Unique
We transformed wine education into an experience people could see, savor, and share.
Rather than simply describing each wine, we brought the winemaker directly to wine club members through a series of intimate, engaging video stories created for quarterly wine club releases.
Through personal conversations with the winemaker, we explored the inspiration, craftsmanship, flavor profiles, and distinctive characteristics behind each wine, making the experience both informative and personal.
We then took storytelling a step further by pairing each wine with beautifully produced culinary videos. Through inviting food imagery, thoughtfully selected recipes, and engaging visual storytelling, we helped members imagine how each wine could become part of a memorable meal, gathering, or special occasion.
The Results
A More Personal Connection
A Richer Wine Experience
The result was an engaging video storytelling collection that extended the Chappellet experience beyond the winery and into the homes of its wine club members.
Bringing the winemaker closer: Personal video stories that give members a deeper appreciation for the people, passion, and craftsmanship behind each wine.
