The marketing agency behind wine’s strongest brands

At 5forests, we don’t just build websites—we build businesses. As the wine industry faces its toughest years in decades, we help brands connect with modern consumers, navigate complexity, and grow with purpose. Whether you’re launching DTC, fixing a broken website, or just tired of shallow agency advice, we’re the partner serious wine businesses call first.

Many winery websites look good. Few are built to perform.

5forests builds winery websites with one goal: to move your customers from interest to action, fast. That means more than just a pretty homepage. It means a site that loads quickly (even on mobile), conforms to accessibility standards (ADA/WCAG), is optimized for search engines, and maps cleanly to your customer’s actual decision-making process.

All our winery website designs are based on a deep understanding of how wine consumers discover, explore, and buy—whether they’re casual browsers or long-time club members. We specialize in Commerce7 websites, but we also work across platforms to meet your goals. Every page is built with intention, every decision backed by data, and every pixel designed to support conversions—whether that’s joining the club, booking a tasting, or placing a case order.

We don’t design for design’s sake. We design to grow your wine business.

Two women sit on a beach blanket near rocky coastal cliffs, sharing a relaxed wine picnic. One pours white wine into a glass while the other smiles and holds a glass of wine. Between them, a charcuterie board and bottles of Bonterra wine are placed on the blanket. The scene promotes Bonterra Organic Estates’ sustainable wines, with the text: “Taste with Intention – From our organic vineyards to your spring soirée – every delicious sip of Bonterra will bring mouthwatering flavor and sustainable craftsmanship.” A mustard-colored button reads “SHOP NOW.”
