With over 20 years of experience supporting more than 300 vineyards across the UK, VineWorks has built a wealth of practical knowledge, technical expertise and industry connections that extend far beyond day-to-day vineyard management.
Our specialist services bring that experience to a wider range of challenges and opportunities, from agronomy, sustainable viticulture and fruit brokering to agroforestry, winemaking and professional training.
Whether you need one-off specialist advice, practical support or a longer-term strategy, our team can provide the expertise to help your vineyard or wine business develop and thrive.
FRUIT BROKERING
Helping you buy and sell grapes
Finding the right home for your fruit is an important part of building a commercially successful vineyard.
VineWorks can facilitate conversations between growers and potential purchasers, helping clients develop relationships and secure longer-term contracts for their grapes.
We can also help clients looking to establish their own wine brand source grapes while their vineyard matures. Purchasing fruit in the early years can provide an opportunity to develop your wines, establish your brand and begin building a customer base before your own vines reach full production.
AGROFORESTRY
Tree Planting with Vineyard Precision
Our GPS-guided planting technology isn't limited to vines. VineWorks can provide accurate and efficient tree planting services during the quieter periods of the vineyard calendar.
Whether establishing shelter belts, integrating trees into agricultural land or delivering larger-scale planting projects, our equipment and experienced team can provide fast, precise and consistent planting.
It’s another way we’re putting our specialist machinery and planting expertise to work beyond the vineyard.
AGRONOMY
Specialist Agronomy Advice for Viticulture
Good vineyard management depends on understanding the complex relationship between soil, nutrition, plant health, pests and the growing environment.
Our Senior Viticulturist, Charles Martin, holds the BASIS Certificate in Crop Protection in Commercial Horticulture and the FACTS qualification in Commercial Horticulture.
With few UK agronomists specialising in viticulture, VineWorks can provide vineyard-specific advice across soil health and preparation, nutrient management, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), crop manipulation and vine training.
SUSTAINABLE VITICULTURE
HEALTHY SOIL. HEALTHY VINES.
Healthy soil is the foundation of healthy, resilient vineyards.
Our viticulturists can help develop strategies that incorporate sustainable practices while remaining practical for the realities of growing grapes in the UK.
From soil health and cultivation to nutrient management and reducing unnecessary inputs, we focus on approaches that support the long-term health and productivity of the vineyard.
We can help identify practical opportunities to improve soil health, build resilience and farm more sustainably.
WINEMAKING & WINERY DESIGN
From Vine to Wine
Some growers have the ambition to make their own wine, build a brand and create a winery of their own.
VineWorks can bring together professional expertise in winemaking, winery design, routes to market, branding and business strategy, drawing on some of the UK’s experienced wine professionals.
By considering the vineyard, winery and commercial strategy together, we can help create a clear route from growing grapes to producing and selling your own wine.
TALKS & TRAINING
Sharing Vineyard Knowledge
Great vineyards depend on knowledgeable people. VineWorks provides talks, workshops and practical training drawing on the experience of our viticulture team and our work across UK vineyards.
Sessions can be tailored to the needs of vineyard owners, managers, employees, industry groups and other organisations, covering subjects ranging from vineyard establishment and seasonal management to specialist viticultural topics.
