Vineyard Management

In managing a vineyard Napa-Sonoma Vineyard Group not only uses industry recognized methods but also works to continuously improve farming practices monitoring the latest viticulture research. NSVG monitors pest and disease incidence and adjusts vine/water relationships specific to site conditions and grape variety. Our management takes into account yield/pruning weight ratios and works with wine makers to ensure that grape quality parameters are met at harvest.

Vineyard Management for Independent Growers: The independent grower typically owns 10 or more acres and produces her/his crop under contract to the specification of a winery. NSVG works with both the independent grower and the wine maker to insure a crop that meets the end buyers needs. We understand the needs of the independent grower because we are also an independent grower with 20 acres in the Carneros.

Custom Farming for Wineries that Own Vineyards: Many small wineries own an estate vineyard to insure the highest quality fruit for their wine maker. Some of these wineries look to hire outside vineyard management to hold down costs. However, they look to the outside manager to function as a part of their production team.

Small-Site Vineyard Management: It is difficult for many small-site vineyards to find good management services. This is because their acreage is below the profitable threshold for many larger management companies. NSVG can work with small-sites. We understand that your vineyard is also a part of your home landscaping aesthetic.

Custom farming for wineries, independent and small growers: NSVG farms over 200 acres of premium wine grapes.
