Interactive Wine Maps for Your Website

Two ways to put the ground on your side.

SommGeo makes interactive wine maps for websites: 3D, terrain-based maps of 59 wine regions that wineries, importers, distributors, retailers and restaurant groups embed on their own sites, or have built into custom sales and education platforms.

Embed a SommGeo map on your website this afternoon with your winery pinned and outlined, from $49 a month. Or have SommGeo build a custom mapping platform around your region, your portfolio and your data.

Try it free first: Embed Builder · Map Maker. No account, no card.

Put a SommGeo Map on Your Site This Afternoon.

The Commercial Embed License puts any of SommGeo’s 59 wine region maps, 2D or 3D, on your website with your winery pinned, labeled, and outlined. No designer, no developer, no waiting. This is a live example: drag it, tilt it, zoom in.

Build the real thing first. Free, no account.

Pick the country and 2D or 3D, choose the appellation the map opens on, pin your winery with a label in your typeface and color, draw your property boundary. Everything works. The embed code and clean PNG downloads unlock the moment you license.

Embed Builder makes an interactive map for your website. Map Maker makes a static image for print, labels and page headers.

Questions Before You License.

How does it work?

Open the Embed Builder, pick a map, choose up to three appellations, place your pin and preview it live. Once you license, add your business name and website and your embed code appears. Paste it into your site. We review each new website, usually within two business days, and then every embed on it goes live.

Why up to three appellations per embed?

An embed tells the story of the place your wine comes from: your appellation, the region around it, a neighbor worth comparing. Picking a broad region shows its own outline, not every appellation inside it. Selling wines from many places? Make one embed per wine or page.

Can I show a whole country, or every appellation in a region?

Not with an embed. A full regional map, a portfolio map across many regions, or your own soil and site layers is exactly what our custom platforms are for. Those are scoped and quoted.

Does every embed need a pin?

Yes. Your pin and label are what make the map yours. You can also outline your property boundary.

What can I change on the map?

The map, appellations, opening zoom, which boundary layers show, your label’s font and color, your property boundary and, on 2D maps, a terrain or satellite background. Custom colors, styling and your own data are custom work.

Do the maps include region descriptions or pop-ups?

No. Commercial maps show boundaries and names. SommGeo’s written region content stays on sommgeo.com.

Can I use the maps for teaching, a course or a paid membership?

Not under this license. Educational or reference use, paywalls, books and other paid publications, and placing maps for other businesses are outside it. Wine schools, publishers, media and large online retailers: talk to us about a custom license.

Can I use it on more than one website?

Estate and Portfolio cover one website, Group up to five. Codes only work on approved websites, and sharing them ends the license.

Can I use the maps in print?

Portfolio and Group include Map Maker PNG downloads for your own sell sheets, presentations and social posts, with the SommGeo credit visible. Anything sold, like a book or magazine, is not covered.

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. The Embed Builder and Map Maker are open to everyone, no account needed. Only the embed code and clean downloads need a license.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time. Licenses are month to month. The full terms are in the license agreement.

Need more than an embed? Whole regions, a full portfolio, your own data, a sales or education platform built around your wines: that is our custom work. See what we build or write to greg@sommgeo.com.

Custom Wine Mapping Platforms.

When a pin on a map is not enough: your whole region, your whole portfolio, your soil study, your branding, built into one interactive platform. Scoped in a conversation and quoted to fit the project.

Geographic Storytelling, Engineered

There is no other platform that combines 3D geospatial mapping with wine-industry expertise at this level.

Platforms, Not PDFs

Replace the 40-page portfolio brochure with a working platform your sales team can pull up on a tablet during a trade tasting. Update once, and every rep in every market sees it instantly. No reprints, no revision cycles, no outdated maps in the field.

Show the Ground, Don’t Describe It

Appellation boundaries, soil composition, slope, aspect, elevation: rendered interactively on maps your buyers can explore. When an importer can fly the vineyards before they fly the flight, they arrive at your tasting already sold on the story.

Reference-Grade, Not Marketing Copy

Every map, every tour, every data overlay is built to the depth that professional buyers expect. No generic regional summaries. No invented tasting notes. Wine-industry accuracy from the Krug Cup winner of the 2018 Master Sommelier Exam, wrapped in modern GIS.

Four Audiences. One Platform Philosophy.

Every SommGeo platform is custom. But the audiences we build for share the same reality: geography is central to their story, and their buyers need to see it to believe it.

Producer Associations

Your Region’s Story Is Geographic. Tell It That Way.

Give importers, sommeliers, and trade press a reason to engage with your appellation before they ever book the flight. Sub-regional detail, producer locations, climate overlays: interactive, branded, and endlessly shareable. Inter Beaujolais used this approach to communicate a nine-year soil study to the global trade.

Importers & Distributors

Portfolios That Span Places Most Buyers Have Never Visited.

Your portfolio covers regions your buyers will never travel to. We build custom mapping platforms that let your sales team show the ground instead of describing it. Branded to your company, sized to your book, organized by market or by producer. One tool that works for every rep in every city.

Wineries & Estates

Your Land Is Your Story. SommGeo Makes It Visible.

Custom 3D renderings of your vineyards, soils, aspect, and elevation. Not a generic map of the region you happen to be in, but a visualization of why your specific site matters. Built into an interactive experience you can share with trade buyers, DTC customers, press, and investors.

Trade Events & Tastings

Turn Trade Tastings Into Studied Events.

Trade tastings live or die on whether attendees come prepared. Give them a pre-event platform that lets them explore every producer, every region, every wine on the tasting list before they arrive. REA used this model to activate 24 EU regions across events in Denver and Houston.

Work Already Done for the Wine World

Two recent projects showing the range of what we build. Each opens the live platform in a new tab. Prefer to drive the tool yourself first? Try the live demo here.

Inter Beaujolais

Beneath Beaujolais

A trade education platform built around the results of a nine-year geological study of the Beaujolais region. The interactive map visualizes granites, schists, diorites, and the hundreds of soil types distributed across the ten crus and village appellations, with vineyard-level resolution for trade professionals studying the region in depth.

A multi-event partnership with the European Union showcasing 24 unique and emerging wine regions across two major trade tastings in Denver and Houston. Custom interactive tours, regional deep-dives, and producer profiles gave attendees a shared reference platform they could explore before, during, and after each event.

From First Call to Live Platform in About a Month.

The process is designed to get out of your team’s way. You know wine. We know the geospatial tooling. Here is how the two come together.

01

Discovery & Scope

We start with a conversation. Who is the platform for? What do your buyers actually need to see? What will your sales team pull up in a customer meeting? From there we build a scope of work, an implementation plan, and a project schedule. Your team knows exactly what is being built and when.

02

Build & Deploy

Most platforms are live on your website within a month of scope approval. We handle the cartography, the GIS data layers, the content writing, and the integration. You approve each step. Analytics are in place from day one so you know what is being used, when, and by whom.

03

Ongoing Partnership

Platforms need to evolve. New vintages, new producers, new regions, new data: we handle all of it. Your team doesn’t touch code. Monthly usage reports, regular updates, and a direct line to the people who built your platform. SommGeo handles the maintenance. You handle the wine.
