Hospitality industry finds immediate value for customers with free website
maps that link customers to local wineries.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Winery location maps are now
available directly from a commercial website customized to associate
hospitality oriented businesses with local wineries. Simple linkage of free
maps provided by CaliforniaWineryAdvisor.com immediately associates the
restaurant, hotel or resort with local wineries. For a modest fee businesses
can also include their own branding.

CaliforniaWineryAdvisor.com adds commercial business locations to their custom
winery maps and assists webmasters to upload the map links. It is a simple
process that provides immediate linkage between the business and local
wineries. Further, the business can select the wineries to be included, truly
making it a custom map for their purposes.

A restaurant or hotel may like to promote the local wineries that they
showcase on their menus. Local business development organizations, festivals
and chambers may also benefit from the linkage by adding a winery map to their
websites.
 
John Sorgenfrei from VisitAvilaBeach.com has used the maps to enhance local
commerce, finding that visitors were excited to know that there was a wine
tasting trail nearby. According to Sorgenfrei, "We have a handful of wineries
and tasting rooms in the area that are now linked together providing another
reason for visitors to come and stay and support our local businesses."
