Our Services
Rising Tides mainly aims to connect consumers (you!) with selected wines for pickup at a retailer near you. But we are also available to help small businesses with their wine programs, both in retail and restaurant settings, and we love handling wine education events for consumers and pros alike.
Bona Fide Bottles
Bona Fide Bottles is an alternative to the standard ‘wine club’. Most wine clubs will send you whatever leftovers they could grab on closeout so they can maximize their margins. Quite the opposite, Bona Fide Bottles are the best wines we could find to illustrate some corner of the wine world, be that a trend, a region, or an important producer you should know. Pretty soon, you’ll understand more than you ever dreamed about the complex, multilayered universe of wine culture. And you’ll get there by drinking really, really well.
You don’t even have to commit or subscribe to anything. Just sign up for our email list or follow us on Instagram so you can stay informed. You’ll choose which of our partner stores you’d like to be your pickup spot, then put the wine in your cart and check out.
Your Bona Fide Bottles will usually be ready for pickup within 4-6 days of ordering, but we will let you know when it’s time for sure.
Consulting
Rising Tides is also available to help restaurants, bars, coffee shops, movie theaters (?), music venues (?) all improve the selections, functionality (and reputation!) of their wine programs.
Education Events
Whether you’re a group of curious friends or a team of industry professionals, we can help you increase your wine knowledge with strategic (and fun) tasting events.
