How much does it cost to register my winery with LIVE?
LIVE Winery Certification fees are as follows:
- Application Fee:
- $100 one-time processing fee for your application
- Annual Dues:
- $500
- Inspection Fee:
Your inspection fee is based on the total case production of your winery for the vintage prior to your registrations.- $600 (under 10,000 cases)
- $900 (10,000 - 50,000 cases)
- $1200 (over 50,000 cases).
This fee is charged only in the years your winery is visited for an inspection. This is currently every third year beginning with year 1.
Example:
In year 1, a winery with 14,000 cases produced in the previous vintage would pay $1500 ($100+$500+$900)
In year 2, that same winery would pay $500 (no inspection in year 2)
In year 3, that same winery would pay $500 (no inspection in year 3)
In year 4, that same winery would pay $1400 ($500+900)
