Custom HomeVineyards

Picture

One direct access route into the world of wine can be through your own back yard.  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.

During our fifteen 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.
