I am trying to gather information regarding how we go about constructing a building up on our vineyard property. My first attempt at gathering this information was reported out on this blogpost called Farm Winery Layout which was taken from two research articles written by Patrizia Tassinari et al. and Daniele Torreggian et al. conducted in the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy.
I also constructed a table of Projecting a 5 Year Harvest---Part 2 calculating harvest amounts that we expect in the coming three years.
Today's blog is about Small Winery Investment and Operating Costs based on a Washington State Extension Bulletin prepared by Le Ann A. Fickle, Raymond J. Folwell, Trent Ball, and Carter Clary. I found the report to be very enlightening. If you are contemplating starting a vineyard/winery this is a very good bulletin to read.
The authors compared the total investment costs for wineries producing 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000 cases of wine.
We aspire to be a 2,000 case winery so the summary of the "Equipment Lists, Prices, Construction Costs, and Investment Costs by Winery Size" in Appendix A was of interest to us.
The above Table serves as a guide to the types of equipment and accessories that we should be thinking of purhasing and will be tailoring to our specific situation.
