Custom Home Vineyards®

     

 

  One direct access route into the world of wine can be through your own backyard.  How small can a vineyard be?  We've worked with single-vine vineyards.  More typically, the home vineyards we install and/or maintain in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California are a fraction of an acre with a few dozen to a few hundred grapevines.  Our Family of Vineyards showcase illustrates the wide variety and options for the small scale grapegrower.
During our twenty eight years as custom farmers, we have encountered varied purposes for private estate vineyards.  Access to world-class grapes for home winemaking, lifestyle landscaping, historical connections, home gardening, real estate enhancement, tax incentives, erosion easements, exotic table grapes, and, of course, great wine bottled under a personalized label are among the incentives we have observed.
