How Do You Value My Vineyard Property?
Value is determined by a number of key factors, including:

- Grape contracts and the remaining economic life of the vineyard
- Structures (homes, winery, shop etc.)
- Land use

Is Now a Good Time to Sell My Vineyard?
Consider two primary market factors:

Vineyard Buyers
Are Vineyards a Good Investment?
Vineyards in the right location can be a very good investment for income and appreciation. They also offer tax advantages including depreciation, deductions, and reduced property taxes.
How Much Does It Cost to Farm a Vineyard and What Income Can We Expect?
Vineyards are capital intensive and annual costs can be highly variable due to weather. . Typical farming costs for the Paso Robles Region range from $4,000-$8,000+/ vineyard acre annually depending on location, vintage weather conditions and winegrowing goals. Most healthy vineyards in the area yield 3-5+ tons per acre and bring in $1,000-$3,000+ per ton. Ultimately, the success of a vineyard comes down to proper alignment of fruit quality and quantity with farming outlays.
How Do I Get a Loan on a Vineyard Property?
Lenders look at three main areas:
- Debt to equity
- Liquidy
- Repayment capacity
Most vineyard lenders require 35% down on the property plus working capital.
Vineyard properties do not qualify for a typical mortgage because the land/agriculture is a significant component.
As with most vineyard/ag properties, it takes a highly qualified buyer and knowledgeable lender.
