What It Is

Tasteseller LLC was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, USA. It positions itself as a provider of mobile event apps for wine, beverage, and food festivals. Its core goal is to move traditional event guides, exhibitor information, schedules, and sponsor content onto mobile devices, covering native iOS and Android apps, with mobile Web support for devices such as Windows Phone and Blackberry.

Core Features and Collaboration

The product is designed around the on-site festival experience. Attendees can view event maps, schedules, wines, restaurants, charities, and sponsor information, and use one-tap scanning or favorites to keep track of wines, exhibitors, or products they like. Organizers can use user notifications to drive ticket sales for the following year and link out to a ticketing portal. On the exhibitor side, the TasterHub online portal allows suppliers, distributors, restaurants, and others to log in and submit product and organization details. The system also sends reminders after submission deadlines have passed, helping reduce the manual workload for organizers collecting exhibitor information.

Pricing, Integrations, and Security

The website does not disclose plans, pricing, a free version, or trial information, so buyers need to contact the company directly to confirm the fee structure before procurement. For third-party integrations, it only mentions linking to a ticketing portal, without listing specific integrations such as Eventbrite, CRM systems, payment tools, or marketing automation platforms. Security and compliance disclosures are also limited. The terms only state that user IDs and passwords must be kept confidential, that the website is provided “as is,” and that Colorado law applies. Common enterprise procurement details such as encryption, role-based permissions, backups, GDPR, and SOC 2 were not found.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths lie in its highly vertical focus: it builds a closed loop around wine shows and food festivals, including scan-to-save features, exhibitor management, sponsor advertising, paperless guides, and post-event reminders. It also supports mobile access across multiple platforms. The downsides are limited public information, a lack of pricing transparency, and no clear details on APIs, developer support, enterprise-grade security and compliance, or detailed permission management. Its applicability is also mainly concentrated in specific festival-style events.

Best Fit and Access from China

It is better suited for organizers of wine festivals, beverage festivals, and food festivals in North America or English-speaking markets, especially those looking to improve attendee experience, sponsor value, and exhibitor information management. Access from mainland China is not covered in the available content and should be considered unknown; payment methods are also not disclosed. If using it for events in China, organizers should carefully confirm network availability, local payment support, Chinese-language interface options, SMS/push notification reach, and ICP/filing compliance. Alternatives worth comparing include Eventbrite, Whova, Cvent, and Guidebook; in China, options such as 活动行 and 有赞活动 may also be relevant.
