The single most important decision to be made by new and expanding growers is vineyard site selection. A vineyard in a poor site will never yield a profit.  Site selection can be a very confusing issue to many growers. VineSmith Vineyard Services helps prospective growers find a suitable and affordable parcel of land. For the grower who already owns a parcel and wishes to plant a vineyard, VineSmith offers a complete site analysis.

VineSmith Vineyard Services assists in the selection of varieties and rootstocks that are best suited to the site and market.  We custom-design vineyard layouts and guide growers in all phases of vineyard establishment with the goal of maximizing resources and minimizing costs.

For established vineyards, VineSmith works closely with the grower and vineyard workers to tailor management programs for insects, diseases, weeds, vertebrate pests, nutrients, cover crops, irrigation, weather protection, and canopy/crop balance. We assist new and expanding growers and wineries develop feasibility studies, business plans, marketing plans, and budgets.

VineSmith Vineyard Services consults via telephone, e-mail, and vineyard site visits.
