Wineries
Wineries of all sizes face an unusual blend of exposures that need to be managed. As a wine producer, you must address risks not typically seen together in the same industry. Whether you grow your own vines, manage production, or sell your product, the unique nature of the wine industry demands specialized insurance coverage.

Crop Risks
Grapes are vulnerable to disasters such as hail, drought, floods, pests, infections, and bacteria. These issues can devastate more than a year’s production since vines need time to re-establish themselves after extensive damage. Crop insurance can help mitigate these risks and protect your investment.
Contamination
Contamination is a major liability due to the close connection between the purity of grapes and the taste of the wine. From the vine to the finished product, contamination can occur at nearly any point in the process. Coverage for contamination can help ensure that compromised crops do not result in significant financial losses.
Intellectual Property
The unique root stock of grapes can be considered intellectual property. Using unlicensed root stock or their produce could constitute patent infringement. Intellectual property claims can also arise from labelling conflicts where one party copies another’s label design. Coverage for intellectual property can help manage these risks and cover associated legal costs.
Product Recall
Every manufacturer faces the possibility of a product recall, which can involve lost time, extra shipping charges, and losses from not having a sellable product. Product recall insurance can cover these costs and help protect your business from significant financial losses.
Storage and Shipping
Special precautions are needed during storage and shipping to preserve product quality. If a product is stored offsite or transported by an outside party, you may still be responsible for its safety. Coverage for storage and shipping ensures your product remains protected throughout the supply chain.
Liquor Liability
If your winery involves retail sales, hosts tastings, or other events serving alcohol, your liability increases. You could be held responsible for damages resulting from over-serving guests or serving minors. Liquor liability coverage can protect you from these risks.
Occupiers Liability
If you offer tours, host events, run an onsite retail shop, or engage in any function that opens your business to the public, you increase the risk of non-employee injuries on your property. Occupiers liability coverage protects you from potential claims related to such injuries.
