Running a winery or vineyard comes with a unique set of risks, and protecting the business takes more than a standard insurance policy. From production and property exposures to workers’ compensation, liability, wine stock, special events, equipment, transportation, and compliance-related needs, wine businesses require coverage that reflects the realities of the industry.

George Petersen Insurance Agency works with wineries, vineyards, and manufacturers throughout California wine country to help identify vulnerabilities and build insurance programs designed around each operation. Their winery-focused coverage options can support a wide range of needs, including property, general liability, liquor liability, cyber liability, employment practices liability, workers’ compensation, wine contamination and leakage, equipment breakdown, wine in transit, pollution cleanup, chemical drift, and more.

Beyond coverage placement, George Petersen also offers resources to help businesses manage risk more proactively. Their team provides loss control support, claims advocacy, workers’ compensation services, HR and safety guidance, and technology tools designed to help clients improve compliance and reduce workplace losses.

For wineries navigating growth, operational changes, regulatory requirements, or evolving risk, having an insurance partner that understands the wine industry can make a meaningful difference. George Petersen’s in-house bond department can also assist with winery and other business bonds, including TTB, bonded winery, state, excise tax, sales tax, and related bond needs.
