Wineries collaborate with wine educators and influencers to host virtual masterclasses on social media by leveraging their expertise, audience reach, and engagement tactics. These collaborations allow wineries to tap into new audiences, educate consumers about their wines, and increase brand awareness and sales.

- Co-creating content with influencers to promote upcoming masterclasses, share behind-the-scenes footage, and generate buzz around the event.
