Currently there are no services available for maintaining your vineyard.
There are plans to offer these services in the future.
Much of the equipment can be shared, as it can add up in cost when you first dabble into growing your own grapes and winemaking.An association or club is the way to get started to share in workload, hands on experience and practice, education and networking.
