Your winery deserves compliance that's built for wine.
Cultivar Compliance provides winery-focused regulatory monitoring, audit services, and advisory — so you always know where you stand with TTB, ABC, DTC, labeling, and CDFA. Built by a compliance professional who speaks your language.
Compliance
gaps rarely
announce
themselves
You've put years into building something worth protecting. We make sure your compliance foundation is as strong as everything else you've built.
From licensing and label review to DTC permit management and CDFA filings — Cultivar Compliance gives California wineries the oversight and expertise to grow confidently across state lines.
In short, hiring us provides a structured review of your winery’s regulatory alignment, helping identify gaps before they result in penalties, enforcement actions, or operational disruption.
01
Regulatory Changes Move Faster Than Most Calendars
State laws, TTB guidance, and DTC regulations shift regularly. A compliance posture built for last year may not hold this year — and no one sends a warning.
02
DTC Complexity Compounds Quietly
Every state you ship to has its own permit, volume cap, annual reporting deadline, and law change cycle. Most wineries don't find out something lapsed until they need it.
03
Label Claims Carry Hidden Risk
Varietal, vintage, and appellation claims on your labels need to match your TTB Operational Reports and CDFA Crush Report data. Inconsistencies across agencies are a primary audit trigger.
Distinguished Advisory Services
Growth Risk Assessment
A compliance health check, built for wineries. We review everything — TTB, ABC, DTC, labeling, CDFA — and give you a clear, prioritized picture of where things stand and what needs attention.
Strategic Advisory
The ongoing oversight that keeps your licenses current, your filings on time, and your compliance picture clean as you add states and SKUs.
STANDALONE ENGAGEMENTS
Not every compliance need fits a retainer. Standalone engagements are available for wineries that need focused expertise on a specific project — audit preparation, Crush Report reconciliation, label review, DTC expansion, or anything else that calls for a closer look
Decades of Compliance Mastery
Cultivar Compliance was founded because I saw how often compliance gaps quietly undermine what winery owners have spent years building. My background is in legal operations and compliance — and I built this practice to give California wineries the expertise and ongoing attention their regulatory picture deserves.
