Bookkeeping for wineries and vineyards
A winery earns from the tasting room, wine club shipments and distribution, while vineyard and production costs land on their own calendar. Mispar separates those income lines, tracks production costs by vintage, and prepares monthly books in your own QuickBooks Online or Xero file. Plans start at $229/mo.
Best for: Wineries, vineyards with tasting rooms, custom crush clients and small wine brands.

Where winery and vineyard books usually go wrong
- Grape, bottling and barrel costs not tied to a vintage.
- Tasting room, wine club and wholesale income combined.
- Inventory valued without a clear method.
- Excise and state reporting kept apart from the books.

A simple, predictable process
From kickoff to your first clean close, here is exactly what happens.
Map channels and vintages
We list your sales channels and production years.
Set up vintage tracking
Vintages get tags so production costs line up with releases.
Reconcile each month
Club payouts, supplier invoices, cellar fees and payroll are reconciled against the bank statement each month.
Deliver monthly statements
Monthly statements arrive ready for your CPA with an open-items list.
Illustrative example
A spring club release ships in March. The charges pay out minus processing fees, the glass and corks for that vintage were matched when purchased, and the tasting room income stays on its own line. This is an illustration of the method, not a customer case or a guarantee.
Wineries and Vineyards bookkeeping — your questions
Can you track costs by vintage?
When purchases identify the vintage, yes. Shared cellar items are split on a rule we agree with you.
Can you separate club from tasting room?
Yes. Club, tasting room and distribution are separate income lines.
What do you need each month to keep winery books?
Club and point of sale reports, supplier invoices, payroll reports and access to your bank feeds.
Can you handle compliance fees?
Yes. Shipping compliance and license fees are their own account.
Do you give tax advice? (wineries and vineyards)
No. We keep the books and hand them to your CPA.
Can you handle custom crush clients?
Yes. Client fees and pass-through costs are tracked by client.
Can you track several release years at once?
Yes. Each vintage carries its own production costs.
Can you track cost by vintage?
Yes. Costs are tied to each vintage so margins are visible.
Can you separate farming costs from cellar costs?
