Question 1

What does a vineyard management company do?

Accepted Answer

A vineyard management company farms your vineyard year-round: pruning, canopy work, pest and disease programs, irrigation, labor, and harvest. Vinedresser manages estates across Napa and Sonoma and logs every activity in VineOps, so owners always have a current, complete record of their ranch.

Question 2

How much does vineyard management cost in Napa or Sonoma?

Accepted Answer

Costs depend on acreage, terrain, varietal, and farming program. After a site visit, we prepare an annual farming plan with a per-acre budget, then track actual costs against it in VineOps throughout the season.

Question 3

I'm evaluating a vineyard property in Napa or Sonoma. Can you assess it before I buy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We perform acquisition due diligence for vineyard buyers: vine age and health, soils, water supply, equipment, and true farming costs, so you understand the property before closing.

Question 4

How do I see what is happening on my ranch?

Accepted Answer

Through VineOps, our client portal. Spray records, irrigation schedules, phenology, yield estimates, labor, and budgets are all logged the day the work happens and available to clients at any time.

Question 5

Do you develop or replant vineyards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We handle site preparation, layout, rootstock and clone selection, and establishment farming through the first commercial crop for new and replanted vineyards in Napa and Sonoma.
