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

LIVE Winery Certification fees are as follows:

  1. Application Fee:
    • $100 one-time processing fee for your application
  2. Annual Dues:
    • $500
  3. 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)
