General liability Coverage

Risk Factors

If a customer is injured while on your business premises, your winery could be responsible for all related damages and expenses

Solution

General liability coverage protects you from unexpected events, hazards, problems and accidents. It’s particularly important if your winery offers public tours and tasting events

Crop Coverage

Risk Factors

Without viable grapes, you can’t make wine. Wineries need crop insurance for the costs of crop damage due to weather, vine infections, insect infestations, fires, floods, and other potential hazards. 

Solution

Crop coverage will cover all your above perils. However, You may need to purchase additional earthquake coverage if you live in an area where it’s necessary.

Commercial Auto Coverage

Risk Factors

If your winery uses personal, company or rented vehicles for business purposes then you need commercial auto coverage.

Solution

Maybe you deliver products, visit with customers to assist their needs, or travel to industry events. If you or any of your employees are involved in an auto accident, commercial auto insurance can take care of the vehicle damages and related medical expenses.

Contamination and spoilage coverage

Risk Factors

There can be a refrigerator or cold storage issue which results into wine contamination and spoilage. You stand liable for the loss.

Solution

A must-have for any winery, this coverage pays for certain losses if a batch of wine is spoiled or contaminated due to a refrigeration breakdown, utility interruption, or some other type of foreign substance

Business Interruption Coverage

Risk Factors

Business interruption insurance is important when it may take some time before a business can get back to business as usual. This can be as a result of unexpected events like fire.

Solution

Buildings may be unsafe, employees may be unsafe, or even property or equipment may need to be repaired. In situations outside of your control, business interruption insurance is an important need for the business.

Equipment breakdown Coverage

Risk Factors

You can face a sudden breakdown of your equipment which halts your wine production. This can reduce the supply and incur a loss.

Solution

Wineries need equipment breakdown coverage to protect against costs associated with the sudden and accidental breakdown of machinery and equipment. It pays to repair or replace the equipment, as well as any business interruption costs that accompany it.

Common risks Winery & Vineyard face

Wineries and vineyards are complicated businesses that can come with big rewards and no shortage of risks. You wear many hats in order to run your business—from farmer, to scientist, to marketer, and many more—yet so many things are simply out of your control.

You need winery insurance to protect you from the financial losses that can accompany damaged crops, spoiled wine, lawsuits, and other unforeseen events that can cost you everything.

Even a small winery must insure every step of the winemaking process. As you grow, harvest, ferment, bottle, and sell your wines, one unexpected problem can destroy your thriving business overnight.
