Why do They Come Back? The Effects of Winery Tourists’ Motivations and Satisfaction on the Number of Visits and Revisit Intentions

Exploring a wine farm micro-cluster: A novel business model of diversified ownership

“…Subsequent studies have expanded the description of wine tourists (Alebaki and Iakovidou, 2011; Bruwer et al, 2012; Charters and Ali-Knight, 2002), winery visitation (Alant and Bruwer, 2004; Dawson et al, 2011), visiting wine tourism destinations (Brown and Getz, 2005; Brown et al, 2007; Sparks, 2007), and the relationship between the experiential expectations/preferences of potential wine tourists and wine tourism (Asero and Patti, 2011; Back et al, 2018; Cohen and Ben-Nun, 2009; Galloway et al, 2008; Lee and Chang, 2012; Olsen et al, 2007; Quadri-Felitti and Fiore, 2012).…”

“…With the evolution of winery tourism and the desire by wine tourists for a more diverse range of experiences (Back et al, 2018; Brown et al, 2007; Bruwer and Alant, 2009; Cohen and Ben-Nun, 2009; Dawson et al, 2011; Getz and Brown, 2006; Getz et al, 2008; Park et al, 2019), many wineries have expanded their offering into a broader-based agritourism product with multiple activities and experiences for visitors on a single wine farm (Back, 2012). When such activities and experiences are owned by a single entity, it may be argued that they represent business diversification rather than a cluster.…”

“…While typical components of wine tourism include the places where people visit (e.g., vineyards, wineries, and wine festivals/events) and the intentions of the visitors (e.g., tasting wine and experiencing the unique characteristics of the wine-producing area or wine-related event) (Hall, 1996; Macionis, 1996), wine tourists have been shown to desire more from their winery experience than simply the tasting and purchasing of wine. They also desire options such as food, accommodation, recreational activities, cultural attractions, and enjoyable scenery and surroundings (Back et al, 2018; Brown et al, 2007; Bruwer and Alant, 2009; Cohen and Ben-Nun, 2009; Dawson et al, 2011; Getz and Brown, 2006; Getz et al, 2008; Park et al, 2019). As a result, activities found on wine farms continue to increase as wine tourism evolves.…”

Experiential consumption of a South African wine farm destination as an agritourism attraction

“…A large body of literature addressed multiple aspects of wine tourism in different wine regions of the world. These studies explored the various dimensions of the winery visitor experience (Cohen and Ben-Nun, 2009), the staging of wine tourism experiences (Pikkemaat et al, 2009), winery servicescape (Charters et al, 2009; Park et al, 2019), consumers’ expectations and performance of services and products (O’Neill and Palmer, 2004), the alignment of experiences designed by wine tourism suppliers with tourists’ perceived expectations (Donna and Ann Marie, 2016), experiential priorities of wine suppliers and visitors (Quadri-Felitti and Fiore, 2016), wine tourists’ purchasing behavior (Kolyesnikova and Dodd, 2008), and winery visitors’ revisit intentions (Back et al, 2018). To date, no studies have examined the experiential consumption dimensions of the visitor experience.…”

Collective Economic Conceptualization of Cider and Wine Routes by Stakeholders

“…Thematic touristic routes are conceptualized as complex dynamic systems comprising public and private stakeholders involved in a coordination process. Stakeholders aim to assemble resources and capabilities needed to produce an agritourism experience that meet visitors’ needs (Bregoli et al, 2016; Back, Bufquin, and Park, 2018). Economic results have established the positive effect of synergy and coherence of wine route stakeholders’ action (Brunori and Rossi, 2000).…”
