Chateau Ste Michelle
The ongoing digital brand re-invention of highly regarded Ste. Michelle Wine Estates sets a new industry standard with the online presence for Washington’s founding winery, Chateau Ste. Michelle.
A website extends to integrated commerce, responsive wine store, and mobile site all driven from the same content delivery platform that informs other SMWE brands. The result creates a seamless user experience for brand engagement or purchase transaction, on any device.
More Approachable, More Accessible, More Navigable
Like a friend nudging you to enjoy the finer things, the new presence appeals to a slightly younger, budget-minded customer. Dramatic imagery of the renowned winery combines with features and content that transition positioning toward approachability. Careful navigation and cross-pollinating create an intuitive user experience to always get the full brand picture within two clicks.

Same Visitor, Different Channels
Across desktop, mobile, commerce, and even social channels, Chateau Ste. Michelle can invite digital visitors to shop, cook, visit, listen, learn, and engage with the brand as never before. And, as with all SMWE brands, it sits atop a robust content management system that seamlessly manages all content under one brand roof.
"To say the work and transformation have been well received would be the understatement of the year...we've truly retaken the 'high ground' in the wine industry - we could probably give many mainstream CPG industries a run for their money."
