Winery SharePoint Intranet

Posted on August 31, 2026

By Greg Zelfond, the SharePoint consultant behind LookBook 365.

One category of clients that I have helped transition to SharePoint and build Intranet portals for is wineries. I take great pleasure in assisting them. First of all, I love their products 😀. Second, they have a pretty hierarchical product category, which makes SharePoint metadata a perfect fit. Third, their Intranet portals are usually pretty fun and extensive in terms of design. In this edition of Build Notes, I want to explain some of my decision-making and demo work products for a typical winery, using the design set I published on LookBook 365 as Food & Beverage (Intranet).

See the full design set: Food & Beverage (Intranet), with every screenshot, web part and feature used on this build.

Hero with the Call to Action buttons

Wineries tend to have several areas that pretty much need to be readily available to most of the employees. Things like Tasting Room Booking, Marketing Assets Library, Inventory Tracker, etc. Besides, wineries have some of the best and most mouthwatering images to display (photos of wine branches, wine bottles, cellars). So it is a no brainer to utilize a hero area with a large image and several call to action buttons to the above-mentioned resources.

News

The News module not only gives a winery an opportunity to share company news, but also allows for another area to show off the beautiful images, so a News web part in Top story layout is a perfect fit.

Events

Same with the Events. To allow for maximum-size images, using the Filmstrip layout is the way to go.

Marketing Asset Library

Wineries tend to always produce tons of marketing assets for their wines, be it bottle labels or flyers, postcards, etc. A single document library with each asset tagged against a piece of metadata is a great option.

Tasting Room Booking System

One thing that all wineries have is a tasting room. I worked with one winery in Napa Valley that had a total of 3 tasting rooms in the region. And those tasting rooms might need to be booked for special events, etc. This is yet another thing that can be achieved easily out of the box with the List/Calendar and an integrated form.

Vendor & Supplier List

Another thing I set up for some of my winery clients is an approved Vendor/Supplier list. Creating one does not take long but goes a long way.

Maintenance Checklist

Wineries operate lots of machinery and equipment, and that equipment tends to break or require periodic maintenance. This is where a simple Maintenance Checklist comes in handy.

SOP & Compliance Library

Being part of the food industry, wineries have a very long list of SOPs and regulations to adhere to. This is yet another place where a document library with metadata might help. Moreover, it allows for color coding, expiry or renewal date reminders, and conditional formatting.

That is the tour. You can browse every screenshot from this build on the Food & Beverage (Intranet) design page, and if you want something like it for your own winery, just let me know.
