- Hospitality (15%): Staff friendliness, knowledge, and attentiveness
- Wine Quality (15%): Tasting experience based on professional ratings and visitor consensus
- Vibe (15%): Interior atmosphere, design, and comfort

These roll into a composite score from 1.0 to 10.0, with higher scores indicating a better overall visitor experience.
