WineRoutes brings wine tourism planning into one connected platform

WineRoutes is a tourism platform built around a simple idea: make it easier for people to discover exceptional wine farms and plan memorable days out. The product is focused on the Western Cape and combines mobile discovery, route building, winery detail pages, and operational tooling into one connected experience.

A product built around real travel decisions

Instead of treating wineries like a flat directory, WineRoutes is designed around how people actually explore a region. Travellers can browse wineries on a map, filter by what matters to them, compare tasting experiences, and build routes that reflect time, budget, variety preferences, and practical considerations like restaurants or family-friendly stops.

From discovery to the final route

The customer app guides users from inspiration to action. It supports route generation, manual stop reordering, nearby alternatives, saved favourites, and route handoff into familiar navigation tools. That means the experience does not stop at search results; it helps people turn a shortlist into a day plan they can actually follow.

A platform, not just an app

Behind the public experience is a broader platform. WineRoutes includes a dedicated admin workspace for winery management and a .NET backend that serves catalog search, route planning, profiles, reviews, and media. This makes the project a strong example of the kind of full-stack product work Full Monty Development delivers: thoughtful user experience on the front end, solid operational tooling in the middle, and scalable services underneath.

• Map-first winery discovery built for travellers exploring the Western Cape.
• Smart route planning shaped by region, wine preferences, facilities, timing, and budget.
• A companion admin workspace that helps winery teams manage listings, media, and experiences.
• A .NET backend that powers catalog search, route generation, reviews, profiles, and media.
• A modern multi-app stack spanning Next.js, Expo, React Native, .NET 10, Aspire, and Keycloak.

Coverage designed for the Western Cape wine landscape

The current seed catalog includes 25 regions and 505 wineries, giving the platform immediate depth and useful regional coverage. That breadth creates a better experience for users and also provides a stronger foundation for search, route recommendations, and future commercial growth.

• Browse 25 regions and 505 wineries from a shared Western Cape catalog.
• Search by winery name, region, wine style, facilities, family-friendly options, and open-now availability.
• Build routes from a current location or a destination region, then refine stops before handing off to Google Maps or Waze.
• Manage winery records, opening hours, media, featured wines, route themes, and representative access from the admin workspace.

WineRoutes shows how product strategy, mobile UX, admin tooling, and backend engineering can come together in one focused platform. It is a practical example of building software around a real-world customer journey instead of a feature checklist.
