Budget: because this design is for the most part hypothetical for the time being, we decided not to come up specific numbers for a budget, but to just design reasonably. If the design is built later on, we may have to value engineer a bit.
Volume: start with 5 acres of vines--about 3250 vines
[looking at an average yield per vine of 9 lbs. of grapes, giving us 3/4 gallon of wine per vine = 2437 gallons]
at 5 bottles/gallon, we end up with approximately 12,000 bottles (around 1000 cases of wine)
Growth Capacity: Design for 3000-3500 gallons. Growth up to 6000 gallons.
Business Strategy: Wholesale vs. Retail? Mostly retail--include tasting room/retail area for guests to taste and purchase wine; parking, 2 ADA restrooms, possibly a kitchen?
Philosophy: High quality wine in limited quantities, Mostly reds, some whites
