Vineyard & Winery Insurance

Whether you’re a small, family-owned vineyard or a larger winery operation, the fruits of your labor are not just your products but your legacy. Yet, this industry, as romantic as it may seem, is not without its risks.

Business Interruption Insurance
In the event of an unexpected closure (due to equipment breakdown or damage to your premises), this insurance helps cover lost income and expenses, ensuring your business can recover smoothly.
Tailored for Your Business.
Every vineyard and winery has its own story, its own way of doing things, which is why a one-size-fits-all approach to insurance simply doesn’t work. Customization is key. Whether you’re a boutique vineyard focusing on artisanal wines or a larger operation with a robust event schedule, your insurance package should reflect your specific needs and risks.
Advanced Risk Management
Beyond insurance, adopting a comprehensive risk management strategy is crucial. This can include implementing safety protocols for machinery and visitors, disaster preparedness plans, and even strategies for climate change resilience. Partnering with an insurer who understands the depth of these challenges and offers support beyond the policy itself can be a game-changer
Partnering for Success
Choosing the right insurance partner is as important as selecting the right grapes for your wine. Look for an insurer who offers more than just coverage. Engagement with the wine-making community, flexible payment options to accommodate the seasonal nature of your business, and bilingual support are indicators of an insurer committed to your success.
