I'm looking into buying a getaway/occasional airbnb property that has 2.5 acres of 25-35 y.o. grapes of 3 different kinds. I like the house, and I really like the area. The vineyard is the biggest selling point for me. Fell in love with the view from the house and walking through it. At the same time, it's the main concern.
As much as I'd love to learn taking care of it, there's just not enough time, and my main residence is 2.5 hours drive from it. The area is quickly growing new wine country. So, I'd imagine if companies that could take care of it for me exist- they must be present there. Which brings me to a few questions.
1) What would these companies be called? What should I google for?
2) Is there a lot of work (hence cost) in taking care of these 2.5 acres?
3) Would there be any way to recoup some of the caretaking costs by selling my grapes? Who would I sell it to? A lot of licensing in California? Or is my best bet to just charge extra for the airbnb experience?
Thank you!
