Sommeliers: booking cellar advice visits online

A client with a cellar to sort, start or build up wants advice at home, among their bottles. Let them book a cellar visit online, choosing the type of visit and a slot on the days you cover their area. They tell you the size of the cellar and their goals in the note, you come prepared, and follow-up tastings are booked before you leave.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity. Give visits one place per slot.

Durations and prices are examples: set your own.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the client's calendar file. Ask in the description for:

Create one service per area if you cover a wide region, and open each area's slots on its days. Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Leave travel time between visits.

For clients far away, a video call with the cellar list sent ahead works as a first step. Book doesn't create video links: send yours by email after the booking.

After the visit, book a follow-up tasting yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; if you enter the client's email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file. Book doesn't take payments, so handle wine purchases and invoices as usual.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and rescheduling works across services. Book doesn't email clients about changes and sends no reminders. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
