Q: What kinds of wineries do you work with?

A: We partner with Texas-based wineries that are serious about raising their standards—those who grow grapes, make wine, and want to improve quality, profitability and visibility. Whether you’re a boutique estate or a mid-sized producer, if you’re ready to farm smarter, vinify with precision and build a stronger business, we’re a good fit.

Q: What regions in Texas do you cover?

A: We specialise in Texas terroirs—from the Texas High Plains AVA to the Texas Hill Country AVA and other emerging vineyard areas across the state. We fully understand Texas soil types, climate challenges, varietal suitability and regional business dynamics.

Q: What is the first step if we want to work with you?

A: We begin with a discovery call or onsite meeting to understand your vineyard, vintage, process and business goals. From there we conduct a thorough audit (vineyard + cellar + business) and jointly develop a strategic plan tailored to your winery’s unique situation.

Q: What services do you provide?

A: Our core services fall into three pillars:

1. Vineyard & Farming Practice Audit — Evaluate your vines, soil, canopy, irrigation and yield metrics to optimise fruit quality.

2. Winemaking & Quality Enhancement — Review and refine your production flow from harvest instructions to bottle release, with focus on consistent excellence.

3. Revenue & Profitability Strategy — Align your production, channel strategy, pricing and margin-structure to build a viable, growing business.
   Additionally, we provide Press & Media Relations Support — by leveraging our national wine-media contacts we help raise your winery’s visibility and legitimise your brand through reviews, ratings and stories.

Q: What are realistic outcomes from working with you?

A: Outcomes vary depending on your starting point and goals, but typical results include: improved vineyard consistency and fruit quality, refined wines that stand out in the market, stronger margins per bottle, better channel mix (DTC, wholesale, club) and increased recognition for your brand. The work is strategic and requires investment—but the payoff is a step-change in quality and business performance.

Q: How long does a consulting engagement last?

A: Every winery is different. Some engagements may be short-term (vintage-specific support), others long-term (multiple seasons, full program). We tailor the scope, duration and deliverables to your needs. As a guide: a full cycle audit + plan may take a few months; implementation and review typically spans 12-36 months to see meaningful results.

Q: What does “press & media relations” involve?

A: We leverage our relationships with national wine media outlets, trade publications, critics and reviewers. We help craft your story, connect you with the right media, secure credible ratings and amplify your winery’s profile. This supports your positioning as a premium Texas wine producer and helps justify higher pricing and broader distribution.

Q: Do you only work with wineries that produce a certain number of cases?

A: No—our focus is on winery owners who are serious about elevation, regardless of size. Whether you’re producing a few thousand cases or tens of thousands, if you want to improve farming, winemaking, business strategy and visibility, we can partner with you.

Q: How do I know we will see ROI from this consulting?

A: We emphasize data, metrics and continuous review. From vineyard yield and quality metrics to production cost, bottle-margin and channel profitability, we set measurable goals. With better fruit, consistent winemaking and stronger business strategy, the risk is reduced and the opportunity for return is higher.

Q: What makes Texas unique as a wine region—and why is targeted consulting important?

A: Texas features diverse soils, significant heat and climate variation, and a wine industry still defining its identity. Many producers face challenges around vine stress, varietal choice, yield-management, harvest timing, quality consistency and channel strategy. Because of these region-specific challenges, having consulting that understands Texas conditions—and connects that to global best practices—is essential.
