Dormancy is a crucial phase in the vineyard, allowing vines to rest, conserve energy, and prepare for the next growing season. Proper management during this time, from pruning to soil care, can directly impact grape quality and yield.

The Guillaume Family: 120 Years of Grafting Excellence
For over 120 years, the Guillaume family has been committed to crafting high-quality grapevines. At Guillaume Grapevine Nursery, we focus on producing traceable, top-tier vines while driving innovation in the industry.
Wine is exciting but also demanding—great wines start with great vines. Selecting the right vine varieties is essential for success in winemaking. That’s why we remain dedicated to our mission: providing our customers with healthy, premium vines and building lasting partnerships to help them plant the vines best suited to their vineyards.
It's harvest time!
A busy season when all of our hard work comes to fruition. Our team at Guillaume wishes you and your team the best of luck this harvest season.
As grapes reach full maturity (and as time permits), this is the perfect time to reflect on the season. It's essential to assess the health and quality of the grapes while considering their potential for wine production. Any virus issues in the vineyard should be addressed by rogueing and removing infected material. These findings can guide future projects, helping to make decisions about rootstock choices or adding new clones for variation and blending potential.
Dormancy preparations, which are often overlooked, should also be considered. If you have irrigation, now is the time to give the vines one last drink of water. A final spray to reduce mildew pressure before leaf senescence may also be beneficial. This practice, although new to me, is promoted to allow the vines to capture all available nutrients from the senescing leaves, storing reserves for the next season.
Guillaume's Estimated Bareroot List is now available! Reach out for the current list by emailing or calling Dylan at (530) 379-5007 or dylan@guillaumenursery.com.
At the heart of every great wine is exceptional grape quality, a topic we never stop discussing! In a recent conversation with Jean Hoefliger and Ryan Pass, we dove into the importance of yeast selection, with a key takeaway: everything comes back to the quality of the grapes.

We hope you take time to enjoy this harvest season! While it’s a busy period, remember to savor that extra cup of coffee and celebrate the fruits of your labor with friends, family, and loved ones. Harvest is about both hard work and the joy of abundance, so take a moment to reflect on the season’s successes. At Guillaume, we deeply value the trust we’ve built with you over the years, and your dedication to quality inspires us to continue supplying your vineyard with premium vine material. We’re grateful for your partnership and look forward to supporting you in many harvests to come. As you move forward with the harvest, remember that our team is always here for you. Whether you need advice, updated lists, or simply a helping hand, don’t hesitate to reach out. The Guillaume Family appreciates your ongoing support, and we look forward to a bright future of collaboration and growth. Together, let’s make every season a success!

Guillaume Grapevine Nursery
Hey growers!
We hope everyone is doing well and maintaining vigor despite these heat spikes! Here at Guillaume, we're diligently tending to the young nursery blocks. Take-rates are looking fantastic, and many young vines have successfully found their way to new vineyard block homes.
We've been out in the field meeting with growers and are always happy to arrange a time for an on-site visit or phone call to discuss any questions you might have. On a recent visit, we met with a grower who achieved an impressive 99.4% take rate with their planting.
Several diligent decisions made throughout the planting process have contributed to this success.
Proper weed management with cultivation helps gives vines space to grow
Planting on schedule allowed the vines to benefit from cool spring weather, which helped them acclimate, explore the soil profile with feeder roots, and establish themselves. As the weather warmed, the vines were in perfect condition to thrive with the season.
One crucial aspect of this diligent planting project is the attention to detail. Their oversight confirmed proper planting height, proper trellising, and vine cartons sunk into the ground to prevent the "chimney effect". Great care was taken to ensure that soft, loose soil was used to fill in around the vines. Often, we see planting crews using dirt clods from shovel scoops to fill the planting holes, which can cause air pockets around the vines and stunt root growth by preventing proper soil contact.
Using soft, loose soil fills these air gaps, and adequate irrigation immediately after planting fills any remaining gaps. Irrigation is sufficient for this purpose, and neither bare-root nor potted vines need to be stepped on or stomped to be set into the soil.
As always, we are available to address any questions or concerns, reply to this email or contact Dylan at (530) 379-5007.
Best,
Guillaume Grapevine Nursery
Happy Spring!
Planting season is here, and many are already getting their vines in the ground. If you haven't gotten yours yet, don't worry! We have plenty of bareroot and potted vines still available.
Potted vines are great for replanting, at any time during the year. Bareroot vines work well for replanting or vineyard (re)development - optimal bareroot planting window before mid-June. Our grafting season ends soon, so if you need vines for 2025, order now!
Here we share some quick tips on receiving and planting vines. Please reach out with any questions about your new vines and their success!
Acclimating the Vines (March-May):
Vine Planting:
After planting, it's recommended to water each plant with 3 gallons of water to help establish them in their new surroundings.
Fertilizer Application:
In addition to these points, maintaining proper irrigation, pruning, and monitoring for pests and diseases are also essential practices for nurturing healthy vine growth. Regular observation and adjustment of care practices based on the specific needs of the vines and environmental conditions can contribute significantly to their overall health and productivity.

The Guillaume family has been grafting vines in Charcenne, France, for more than a century. Our knowledge and experience has been passed on from one generation to the next as our company has continued to evolve and develop, earning a name and ongoing recognition in the worldwide grapevine industry.
The origin of the French nursery goes back to a time when the Franche-Comté region had to rebuild its vineyard after the Phylloxera crisis. In 1895, Albert Guillaume started to graft vines and set up a nursery that sold planting material in several wine-producing regions of France. At the end of the development of hybrids in 1954, Henri Guillaume assumed control of the business and had an active part in the reconstruction of the Bourgogne and Champagne Vineyards. From 1983 up to until the present time, his son Pierre-Marie Guillaume has continued to expand and develop the company, giving it an international scale and focusing on research and genetic selection.
After expanding to South America in the year 2000, Guillaume Company set up a subsidiary in the United States in 2008, Guillaume Grapevine Nursery, in order to work with North American grape growers and provide top-quality material as well as sharing its well-recognized experience.
