How much does it cost to register my vineyard with LIVE?

LIVE vineyard members are required to pay the following fees:

  1. Application Fee:
    • $100 one-time fee for processing your application
  2. Annual Dues:
    • $175 for vineyards up to 20 acres plus $2/acre over 20 with no cap
  3. Inspection Fee:
    • $350

      This fee is billed only in the years your site is visited for an inspection by our 3rd party. LIVE requires vineyards to be inspected for the first two years of membership and then every third year thereafter on a random basis. The regional difference in cost is a result of travel time and distance from our inspectors' locations.

  4. Late Enrollment Fee (see explanation):
    • $50

      This fee is only billed if you join outside of the open enrollment window (January 1 - July 1 of year to be considered). Our inspectors batch their visits and determine their fees based on enrollment numbers up to July 1. This fee covers late enrollment after their contracts are negotiated.
