Planning your vineyard can raise a lot of questions:

  • “If I don’t know the hidden variations under my land, how far will that compromise the viability of my vines?”

  • “What are the best vines to order for my specific terroir?”

  • “How can I prevent excessive vigor or vigor variability?”

  • “How do I set up my blocks for maximum success?”

  • “Where do we start?”

With your level of dedication to quality, we believe you deserve to produce award-winning wines. We have the tools and technology to help you make that happen.

What Our Clients Say

JAKE BUSCHING, VIRGINIA WINEGROWER
JAKE BUSCHING WINES

"I have worked with HydroGeo on multiple vineyard sites where the results have altered vineyard layout plans completely. The goal with starting a vineyard is to only start it once. I will never plant another vineyard without completely understanding what my roots are growing down into. It's where wine quality starts."

How We Help

TERROIR MAPPING

We use a combination of Subsurface Imaging and Test Pits to map vineyard sites for optimum planting and planning. Whether you’re planting a new vineyard or cultivating an existing one, we can give you the soil information you need to create beautiful wine.

SITE SELECTION & EVALUATION

Are you looking to purchase a new property for a vineyard? Using computer mapping tools and landform evaluation, we can help you determine if a property is worth your investment. We can also determine the best location for a vineyard on your property.
