CHICAGO and SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Cellar Angels and CellarPass today announced a unique co-marketing partnership to feature expanded and unique access to higher-end wine experiences and exclusive wine sales.
By offering immediate access to visit hundreds of wineries and the ability to sell tickets to special, invite-only tasting events across the country and CellarPass "inside knowledge" of where to taste in wine country, are just some of the distinguishing traits of this brand-focused service-orientated company.
It was these elements that made it more appealing to Cellar Angels. "I've known Jonathan Elliman, founder of CellarPass, for a few years and we've always talked about working together in some way as we are striving for the same goal: providing an exceptional winetasting experience for the higher-end wine consumer," says Martin Cody, President of Cellar Angels. "Cellar Angels achieves this virtually by promoting exclusive, exceptional time-sensitive wine offers to raise funds for charity, all on line."
The partnership allows access to CellarPass' highly-visited website to promote the offers. "Like Cellar Angels, they're very selective on who they work with as brand integrity is vital to our organizations," he says.
To kick the partnership off, CellarPass has pledged to donate $2 for every reservation placed through the Cellar Angels website, now and through the end of the year. The proceeds will benefit the organization each winery has designated as part of their Cellar Angels campaign.
"From the early get go, CellarPass has been looking for an ongoing charitable opportunity like Cellar Angels' offers," says Jonathan Elliman, founder and CTO for CellarPass. "By partnering with Cellar Angels, we not only get to work more closely with the caliber of wineries that we're known for, but now our guests can buy the wines they love that also have partnered with a great charitable cause- it's a win-win for everyone involved."
CellarPass has recently been featured in the Robb Report and continues to be the "go to" source for all winery reservations or special events taking place in and out of wine country. All wineries and visit information is available on their new website that is compatible with most mobile and tablet devices by going to www.cellarpass.com.
Wineries in California's wine country are already taking notice.
"We've enjoyed a great working relationship with Cellar Pass and have only recently been introduced to Cellar Angels — but everything thus far has exceeded our expectations. This is a great pairing for wine lovers," says Joy Sterling, CEO and Partner of famed Iron Horse Vineyards, one of the wineries currently featured on Cellar Angels.
