The primary feature of a tasting room is a tended walk-up bar counter where guests are offered small samples from a list of products produced by the winery or brewery, usually for a small fee. Wine is poured by staff that has been trained in knowledge of the products and production, who will answer questions and make conversation with guests. In smaller production facilities the owners, winemaker, brewmaster, or other executives may personally meet guests and pour the product. Larger operations often treat their tasting room as a sophisticated business unit with its own manager and dedicated staff, who usually work on a commission basis according to how much they sell.
