Cost of buying a vineyard
The renowned viticultural regions are heavily priced for a good reason. The less saturated areas are generally more affordable.
For instance:
-Vineyards in Napa Valley start from around $250,000.
-AOC vineyards in France are worth around $160,000 per acre, on average (AOC is appellation d'origine contrôlée - a way of certifying geographical indications for wine).
-Non-AOC vines are much more affordable, starting at $57,000 per acre.
Cost of developing and maintaining a vineyard
Growing grapes is more pocket friendly to begin with. But, if you want more attractive returns, you are better off running a winery as a sole proprietorship or a limited liability company like the Wine Group LLC.
Planting vines in steep, rocky terrain will need at least 3.5 times more investment than a flat piece of land (which will cost $74,000+ a hectare).
