Lost Island Wine, a family owned and operated wine store located in Onalaska, WI, has been providing their community with island themed wines and ciders since 2012. The idea for their business started only a year prior to opening, when owners Todd and Jennifer Wiedenhaft had the brilliant idea to turn their passion for wine making into a community staple for all to enjoy. After eight successful years of running their business from the ground up, they made the decision to purchase a Google Street View Trusted virtual tour for their business in May of 2021. They chose the Essential program which provided them with 4-7 panoramic images, and 10 professional still photos to showcase their location. After having their Google Street View Trusted virtual tour published to their business’s Google listing for only a year and a half, they have amassed an incredible 272,172 views! That means that over 270,000 potential customers have window-shopped their business online, translating to more visibility and more growth.

In addition to their wine and cider offerings, Lost Island Wine has the option to book a medium sized event space, on location, that is fit for any wedding party, birthday party, corporate event, or special occasion. Third party market research suggests that businesses that offer virtual tours can see increased bookings, with look-to-book conversions rising by 16% to 67%. By investing in a Google Street View Trusted virtual tour, they are able to accurately show off their event space to engage with current and potential customers that are looking for a place to book their event. Other business features include customized wine presentations perfect for any occasion, and an exclusive wine club with member only discounts and more!
