We are dedicated to offering a full-service commercial winery process to help wine enthusiasts turn their passion into a business. Whether you plan to make 200 cases or 2,000 cases, Vintners Own can do all the production necessary.

All the logistics that go into launching and managing a brand are taken care of by Vintners Own professional staff. We take care of all the legal and business aspects of getting your wine to a place where you can then concentrate on the marketing and promotion of your brand.

You need to invest in marketing your brand and therefore do not need the huge capital investment normally associated with wine making. A 200 gallon minimum (approximately 1,009 bottles - 84 cases) and a fixed setup fee is all it takes. This leaves you with the possibility of gross margins in the 50% to 100% which is what most premium wineries aim to achieve.

Tax laws allow anyone engaged in a business for profit to deduct all reasonable expenses related to that business.

In the winery business the range of allowable expenses is enormous and you may use losses generated during the early years of your new business to offset income from other sources such as wages or investment income.

Allowable expenses, beside production costs, could include:

• A trip to the Sonoma/Napa valleys to evaluate your grape purchase. Once signed up with us our Master Vintner and/or our CEO (both based in Sonoma Valley) will be happy to show you around
• Some wine purchases if they are used in the evaluation of vineyards or wine styling.
• Travel or other entertainment expenses related to the promotion of your wine.
