With vineyards spanning 10 counties across California\u2014from the fog-covered hills of Santa Barbara to the volcanic slopes of Napa\u2019s Atlas Peak\u2014Trinchero produces 18 million cases of wine each year. The scale is massive, but the goal is intimate: deliver the kind of quality and care typically reserved for small-lot winemaking.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou really only get one shot a year to make up all of the investment that you put into the vineyard,\u201d said Wood, a vineyard technologist at Trinchero.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make sure everything is done right at harvest time, Wood turned to geographic information system (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/what-is-gis\/overview\">GIS<\/a>) technology. The mapping and analytics technology connects Trinchero\u2019s field crews, winemakers, and executives with vital data for each vineyard block. It powers everything from crop estimation and pest scouting to redevelopment planning and sustainability tracking.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Wood joined Trinchero in 2019, there was no GIS program\u2014just paper maps and spreadsheets that told disparate stories. Today, the company\u2019s digital infrastructure helps manage the complexity of large-scale <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Viticulture\">viticulture<\/a> while preserving the nuance and intention of boutique farming.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The Challenge of Scale <\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trinchero Family Estates owns 35 vineyards and works with dozens of external growers. With vineyards spread across the state, the company manages a vast, varied agricultural footprint. Each region brings its own microclimates, soil types, varietals, and vineyard management practices. And each decision has cascading effects across winemaking operations, logistics, and finance.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Wood, the challenge wasn\u2019t just mapping this complexity\u2014it was making it purposeful.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The existing spreadsheets detailing thousands of vineyard blocks made it difficult to answer basic questions: How many acres are in production? Which blocks are underperforming? How many tons of grapes should the winery expect this year?<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GIS, which makes data easier to understand and analyze by organizing it geographically and in layers, became the foundation for answering those questions. By building a spatial database of every vineyard block, Wood created a single source of truth for the entire company.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That foundation now powers a suite of precision tools\u2014from yield projection and scouting apps to harvest dashboards\u2014making GIS the platform that links data to decisions across thousands of acres, dozens of teams, and one very high-stakes harvest season.<\/p>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[766852,766802,766812]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Smart Maps, Smarter Decisions<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once Wood established a digital foundation for Trinchero\u2019s vineyard data, the next step was turning that information into action.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most impactful tools he developed was a yield projection app that helps the company estimate grape production for each vineyard block. That number drives nearly every aspect of harvest planning, including crew size, truck dispatch, and tank space requirements.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s not uncommon for us to need nearly 100 tractor trailers per night at a ranch during harvest,\u201d Wood said. \u201cAnd when the grapes come into the winery, there needs to be enough tank space for them, because once you pick the grapes, you've got to move fast. Otherwise, they start fermenting on their own.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The app combines critical variables like grape cluster counts, cluster weights, and vine counts. Vineyard crews collect that information via mobile devices while the app standardizes the data and automatically geolocates and validates it.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That data flows into the office, where vineyard managers, winemakers, grower relations staff, and even finance teams use it to align on expectations and logistics. \u201cBefore GIS, there were four or five different spreadsheets with different, unreconciled numbers,\u201d Wood said.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, everyone\u2019s looking at the same data, creating a shared language for decision-making.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The benefits extend beyond logistics. The same geospatial infrastructure supports a scouting app that tracks pests, diseases, and vine health for every vineyard. It also powers dashboards that help winemakers monitor conditions without driving hundreds of miles between sites. \u201cWe can see what the growing conditions are in Santa Barbara the moment that data is submitted,\u201d Wood said.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By embedding spatial data into daily workflows, these tools have transformed GIS into a vital operational asset.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Precision at the Block Level<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For all its scale, Trinchero\u2019s most powerful use of GIS technology happens at the smallest unit of measurement: the vineyard block.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each block\u2014defined by its unique combination of soil, slope, varietal, and microclimate\u2014can behave differently, even just rows away from its neighbor. That variability is where Wood\u2019s work shines.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider Haystack Vineyard, perched on the volcanic ridges of Napa\u2019s Atlas Peak <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/American_Viticultural_Area\">American Viticultural Area<\/a> (AVA). One cabernet sauvignon block there slopes steeply from south to north. The top of the block, where the soil is thinner and the vines struggle more, produces grapes prized by Trinchero\u2019s luxury winemaking team. The bottom yields good fruit, but it\u2019s destined for a different brand.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wood created harvest maps that can direct crews to pick only the rows that met the winemaker\u2019s criteria\u2014taping off the rest for a later pick.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That same precision extends to redevelopment planning. By layering normalized difference vegetation index imagery with yield monitoring data from machine harvesters, Wood identified underperforming zones in large blocks. In one case, he used that insight to guide a precision agriculture technique that delivered more organic matter to struggling areas and less to thriving blocks. The result? The vineyard\u2019s canopy was visibly more balanced the following year.<\/p>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[766792,766772,766762,766782]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The Future of GIS at Trinchero<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After mapping 9,000 acres and digitizing scouting and yield workflows, Wood is now expanding GIS beyond the vineyard.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water management is one key frontier. In a state where every drop counts, Wood is developing a GIS-based system to track irrigation across Trinchero\u2019s properties. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about compliance,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s about being good stewards of the land. We want to know how much water we\u2019re putting in, whether the vines are using it, and how that affects yield and quality.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Climate adaptation provides another opportunity. The company operates more than 20 weather stations that collect temperature, precipitation, wind, and humidity data in 15-minute increments. Over time, that data will help the team understand how growing conditions are shifting and how to respond.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storytelling is yet another value of the data-driven approach. As consumers become more curious about wine origins, Wood sees potential in using GIS to illuminate those stories. \u201cPeople want to know where their wine came from. They want to hear about farming practices, the soil, the temperature, the climate, and the weather of a particular vintage, and the decisions that went into not just the winemaking, but the farming, too,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For now, Wood remains focused on deepening the company\u2019s spatial intelligence. \u201cThe more we understand the data, the greater potential there is to use it to guide our farming decisions and meet our business needs in the long run,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Farming with Intention<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By using a geospatial approach, Wood has enabled one of the country\u2019s largest wineries to operate each vineyard block with the precision and attention of a boutique producer.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sustainable agriculture transformation isn\u2019t just technical\u2014it\u2019s cultural. Everyone at Trinchero now shares a common view of the land. They\u2019re making faster, smarter decisions. They\u2019re asking better questions. And they\u2019re seeing how geography drives quality.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Trinchero, smart maps aren\u2019t just helping manage scale. They\u2019re helping preserve the winemaking craft\u2014one block, one vine, one vintage at a time.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere\u2019s still a lot of work to do, but each of these endeavors reminds me of the potential,\u201d Wood said. \u201cThe more we understand our land, the better we can farm it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about how\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/industries\/agriculture\/overview\">GIS technology helps farmers intelligently manage agriculture<\/a>.<\/p>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"sidebar","layout":"standard","image_reference":null,"image_reference_figure":"","spotlight_image":null,"section_title":"","spotlight_name":"","position":"Center","content":"<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Mapping California's Varietal Logic<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terroir\u2014the idea that wine reflects the unique soil, climate, and landscape where grapes grow\u2014traditionally relied on generations of trial and error. Today, GIS transforms centuries-old intuition into data-driven science for sustainable agriculture.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trinchero's geographic strategy reflects California's climate diversity.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Santa Barbara County's coastal proximity creates a thermal belt where temperatures rarely exceed 85\u00b0F during the growing season. GIS weather modeling confirms these conditions favor cool-climate varieties. Pinot noir and chardonnay develop balanced acidity and complex aromatics that would be impossible in hotter zones.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Napa\u2019s Atlas Peak presents different variables. At 2,000 feet of elevation, volcanic soils contain high levels of iron and magnesium. Soil analysis shows drainage rates that deliberately stress vines, concentrating the flavors in cabernet sauvignon. GIS slope analysis reveals which blocks receive optimal solar exposure for developing the tannins that give red wines structure.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Central Valley operations demonstrate different applications. Higher temperatures suit varieties like zinfandel and petite sirah that need longer growing seasons. GIS irrigation models optimize water delivery based on soil moisture sensors and plant water usage calculations.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trinchero takes a geographic approach to what winemakers once assessed by instinct. Heat mapping identifies temperature variations within single vineyards. Soil tests predict water availability. Sun exposure analysis determines which areas ripen fruit most evenly.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The analysis extends to expansion decisions. When evaluating potential vineyard sites, teams analyze climate data, soil composition, and landscape features to predict how well different grape varieties might grow. The system can model how a Paso Robles hillside might perform with Rh\u00f4ne varieties based on temperature patterns and limestone content.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding variables through spatial analysis allows Trinchero to match grape varieties with optimal growing conditions across their diverse holdings. The result: systematic quality improvement based on science rather than guesswork.<\/p>","snippet":""}],"references":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin
