The Traveling Vineyard - Products and Services: Like grapes being turned into fine wine, The Traveling Vineyard has grown from a small experimental business venture in a Tampa, Florida, home to a nationwide success. Founded in 2001 by current company President Rick Libby when he was the Chief Marketing Officer of Geerlings & Wade, The Traveling Vineyard is now owned by Phoenix Vintners, LLC, and has hundreds of self employed independent wine consultants across the United States. Originating as a supplemental service to the Geerlings & Wade mail order wine catalog company, The Traveling Vineyard successfully helped that company become a leading direct marketer of fine wine and wine accessories, as well as a pioneer in the sourcing of fine wines from small family vineyards in Europe.
As the President of Phoenix Vintners, LLC, doing business as The Traveling Vineyard, Rick Libby strives to continue his original mission: to help people build and strengthen relationships by sharing the wines they love. Event hosts and consultants can join the experience of learning about the wine tasting and selection processes, while at the same time taking advantage of generous rewards programs featuring wine discounts. To host a home wine tasting, or to find out how to become a consultant with The Traveling Vineyard, visit the company’s website.
The Traveling Vineyard is a pending member of the Direct Selling Association, and as such, the company adheres to a very strict ethical code of business conduct. The company also belongs to WineAmerica and the Free the Grapes Organization.
