Success Story: Yering Station Winery Pops with Custom Blankets
Yering Station Winery, Victoria’s first vineyard, known for producing world-class wines and offering a truly unforgettable wine experience in the Yarra Valley, partnered with Cubic Promote to supply 450 custom branded checkered picnic blankets. Famous for an ace wine experience in the Yarra Valley since 1838, they wanted something classy to match their premium vibe and level up the day for visitors and VIP clients. The checkered picnic blankets, with the winery’s logo neatly embroidered, got handed out to visitors dropping in for tastings, tours, and special occasions.

Yering Station Winery – custom picnic blankets
It made a real impact—85% of guests spread them out during their visits, either for picnics on the grounds or as a keepsake from their trip. These branded blankets turned into a little badge of Yering Station’s knack for making moments stick, with folks snapping pics of their picnic vibes for social media, giving the winery’s charm an extra shoutout. With their comfy, high-quality feel and low-key branding, the blankets hit the spot for their practicality and the lasting reminder of their time at one of the Yarra Valley’s leading wineries.
