Affiliate program

Earn on every wine country booking you send.

If you reach people planning a trip to Napa or Sonoma — as a driver, a directory, a hotel, or a creator — turn that audience into commission. Wineries set their rate; we handle the tracking and the payouts.

Free to join · Guaranteed Stripe payouts · Wineries set 15–25%

Common questions

What does it cost to join?

Nothing. There's no setup fee and no monthly cost — you only earn commission on bookings you send.

How much can I earn?

Each winery sets its own commission rate, between 15% and 25% of the booking subtotal. VineSeat keeps a 20% network fee on that commission, so you take home 80% of it — your exact rate and net are always shown in your dashboard before you promote.

How do I get paid?

Through Stripe Connect. You'll connect a Stripe account during onboarding, and payouts run automatically — no invoicing.

Do I have to be approved?

Yes. We review every application by hand to keep the program high-quality. You'll hear back within a few business days.

How are bookings tracked?

You get tracked links and QR codes. When someone books through them, we attribute it to you — and you can watch it in your affiliate portal.
