Agency

The seasons, the years.
The drought, the rain.
From this we spin a heartfelt web…

Pop a cork at twilight.
Fill my glass with dreams.

Wine is one of the most civilized things,
and one of the most natural things.

Wine is one of the most civilized things, and one of the most natural things.

— Ernest Hemingway

We love wine. We live and breathe it. Wine is our focus, expertise, and passion.

We are brand communicators. We approach storytelling with rigorous journalistic standards. Our words, concepts, and strategic insights define brands and entice audiences.

Our work is founded on the classic principles of design. Our work is subtle, elegant, and immersive.

We hand code. We sketch. We start from scratch. We work meticulously.

We’re friendly. We’ve worked with more than 125 wineries of all sizes. We’ve collaborated with winemakers, proprietors, designers, importers, wholesalers, sales teams, and marketing and PR specialists. We take great professional pleasure in making new friendships in the fine beverage world, and fostering our existing relationships.
Design, like winemaking, requires a combination of technical proficiency and artistic sensibility. Winemakers are passionate about their craft and uncompromising about quality, and we take the same artisanal approach to our work. Like a fine wine, our websites are designed to stand the test of time.
We are based in Oregon, and we collaborate with clients all over the globe. We use email, screen sharing, file sharing, and phone call meetings. We are also available for on-site visits, brainstorming sessions, and workshops. Get in touch with us at hello@vinagency.com.
If you are interested in working with us, please contact us via our Request for Proposal. We will respond and schedule a conference call to meet and discuss.

Next we follow up with an exploratory questionnaire that familiarizes us with your business and your needs. Then we prepare a formal proposal with the project scope, budget, projected timeline, and contract.

Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. We’re at hello@vinagency.com, and we’re looking forward to working with you.

Vin has been a critical partner in helping us bring an elevated customer experience to our website and e-commerce storefront. It was important for us to deliver a solution that not only embodied our brand but also echoed the customer experience our guests experience on site. Jon and team are extremely customer-focused and are always developing solutions that help the guest navigate with ease. Their attention to detail, efficiency, and high-quality work make them great partners. I believe their work speaks for itself!

Melissa DeVore

President at Amici Cellars
Vin has been a tremendous partner for DuMOL as we upgraded our e-commerce platform and started pushing the envelope with the feature set. What makes Vin stand out is their desire to truly understand the business need and their willingness to respond to design feedback with a collaborate, no-ego attitude. I also appreciate their timely communication and fast iterations.

Andrew Kao

Director of Digital Strategy at DuMOL
We appreciated Vin's combination of professionalism, attention to detail, creativity, timeliness, excellent communication, as well as the ability to quickly understand client's idea and build on it.

Alban Debeaulieu

Winemaker at Abbott Claim & Beck Family Estates
Vin delivers the key attributes of a partner: creativity, technical chops, thoroughness, timeliness, transparency, and a collaborative approach. I wholeheartedly recommend Vin to clients as an agency that consistently brings value and a positive experience.

Karen Fass

Founder at Feast Consulting
We engaged Vin to redesign Tzora Vineyards's visual brand presence and bring it on the level with the top tier of quality on the international stage. We collaborated closely throughout the process and Vin was attentive to our goals and flexible in developing our ideas. The work has successfully endured the test of time and continues to make a strong impact on our customers. We highly recommend working with Vin.

Eran Pick

General Manager and Winemaker at Tzora Vineyards
While the creative and design are top notch, Vin is also able to take feedback and work with their clients in a collaborative manner. They are very responsive and timely in all communication. We also used Vin for copywriting for the first time and our expectations were exceeded. Vin was also extremely helpful as we changed e-commerce partners twice during the development of our website. I can't think of a way our experience could have been improved.

Seana Stephens

Proprietor at Stephens Family Wines
I’ve been working with Vin since the launch of the brand. Vin quickly understood what I was looking for in both the look and feel of the label and the website. I continually get compliments on both. We have been working together over the years and continue to fine tune and make changes to the website. Vin responds to my requests quickly, offers great advice and then implements the changes instantly.

Tony Arcudi

Winemaker at Arcudi
I have worked with Vin on several wine industry projects and I would highly recommend Jon Krauss and his team. My projects involved wine branding through label and logo design and a winery website update and overhaul. In both instances I found Vin to be very knowledgeable with a well developed creative capacity. He was a great collaborator and also patient with my lack of technical acumen. His communication skills were also excellent. He listened to my goals for the projects and delivered great results. I hope to work with Jon and team again in the future and I would not hesitate to recommend them to my closest friends.
