FAQs

  • What wines are in the collection?

    Ambassadors share a diverse selection of award-winning wines from our family of wineries in California and France including Raymond Vineyards in Napa Valley, DeLoach Vineyards in Sonoma, and Buena Vista Winery in Carneros.  In addition to representing limited production and estate wines found exclusively in our tasting rooms, Curated Collection wines are available exclusively through our Ambassadors.  With more than 100 allocated wines representing many regions, styles, and price you become an extension of our tasting rooms and can personally curate wines that cater to anyone from the casual wine consumer to the avid collector.  

  • What is a Boisset Tasting Experience?

    The Boisset Tasting Experience is a fun and affordable turn-key guided tasting of three or more wines and can be take place as an in-person gathering or as a virtual event online. For in-person wine tastings, the host selects from our extensive menu of Tasting Experiences and shares the wine with their guests. For virtual tastings, each participating household or office would order their own flight and gather online via videoconference to help groups from across the country feel connected through wine. Use our spectacular support materials and add your own personality, hospitality and style to create a fun and memorable wine experience! 

  • What is the Boisset Wine Society?

    Boisset Wine Society Members receive automatic shipments of 3, 6 or 12 wines every three months, matched to their wine style preference. All Wine Society shipments are 100% customizable from our extensive wine list and member benefits include up to 20% savings on purchases, discounted shipping, complimentary tastings at select wineries, invitations to private events and early access to special limited-production wines that are avaialbe exclusively to Members. 

  • Can I cancel my Cellar Suite membership?

    An active Cellar Suite membership is required for Boisset Ambassadors since the platform processes and tracks your sales.  If you cancel your membership (or if your credit card cannot be charged for its renewal), your Ambassador account will be deactivated. After 90 days without payment, your customers will be re-assigned.  Ambassadors may terminate their account by contacting customercare@boisset.com.  Annual memberships are non-refundable. 

  • Is there a minimum that I need to sell?

    Ambassadors must have at least $1,000 in Personal Sales Volume per year to remain in the program. This minimum annual sales and your Cellar Suite subscription are the only two requirements to stay enrolled as an Ambassador and maintain benefits. If you choose to build a team, a minimum of $250 in Personal Sales Volume per month is required to be eligible to receive team commissions.

  • Is there a summary document I can review on the Ambassador program?

    Here's a great summary document of the Ambassador Opportunity!

  • Are there detailed policies for the Boisset Ambassador program?

    Yes, please review our policies and procedures before enrolling as an Independent Ambassador which include the terms of being an independent contractor, how to conduct tastings, state wine shipping laws, and how to promote your business on social media.  

  • How many hours do I need to work?

    You determine your success and the time you wish to devote to your business. Some Ambassadors have full-time jobs and devote 5-10 hours a week while others make their Boisset Ambassadorship a full time career. It’s truly up to you and it may change depending on your life circumstances. 

  • How much do I need to invest?

    Ambassadors are not required to purchase inventory and Boisset ships all orders directly from our wineries to the customer. When you enroll as a Boisset Ambassador, you will however need to purchase an Enrollment Package which will provide you with your ecommerce website, plus access to the necessary business tools, marketing resources and training content. All Enrollment Packages include the first 90-days of your Cellar Suite membership, which is the platform you will use to manage your Boisset business. After this period, the cost to maintain your Cellar Suite subscription is $14 per month or $120 annually. Premium Enrollment Packages that include additional discounted products for leading tasting experiences, such as wine, stemware or an initial supply of printed materials are optional upgrades. We recommend that you also purchase Boisset branded business cards from our preferred vendor and consider enrolling in a Boisset Wine Society membership to receive savings on your own personal purchases, though this is not required.

     

  • What can I expect to earn?

    Ambassadors receive commissions twice a month and earn between 15%-35% of the commissionable volume (CV) on wines and merchandise purchased through their website. CV ranges from 50% to 100% of the product's retail price before discounts based on product category and price point. Some items, such as Enrollment Packages or business supplies are not eligible for commissions. In addition to customer orders and their own personal orders, Ambassadors can also enroll new Ambassadors on their team and become eligible to earn between 2-8% of team sales.  Therefore, earnings vary widely and depend on the volume of orders received in a calendar month by your customers, any personal orders, and team member sales.

  • Can I do this?

    Yes – on your own time, in your own way.  Though wine can seem intimidating, we make it approachable so you earn as you learn.  You set the rules and you determine what success means to you. There are so many ways to run your business, selling online, bringing wine to social gatherings, guided tastings or more exclusive personal curation, building a team – the sky is the limit. 

  • Can I sell wine to restaurants or other commercial locations?

    No, our Ambassadors may only act in a marketing capacity with end consumers via private tastings and may not solicit restaurants, bars, retail stores, or other commercial outlets.

  • How are the wines sent to my clients? What if they live in a state that doesn’t allow wines to be shipped?

    Boisset Collection ships via UPS, FEDEX, or special temperature control trucks during hot and cold weather. Currently we ship wine to 40 different states. Due to the sensitivity to temperature and weight of wine, we expect our Ambassadors to understand the shipping options in the states they service so that orders are entered with the best shipping option possible. Typically orders entered by 10a.m. Pacific on Monday – Friday will ship the same business day. For more information, please see our States of Operation for a list of states and scroll down to explore any state-specific requirements or volume limitations per consumer.
