TEMECULA, Calif., Feb. 13, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Temecula Valley Winery Management has partnered with Elypsis, Inc. and eWinery Solutions to offer its clients a comprehensive winery management software and hardware package to manage sales, shipping, accounting, inventory, wine clubs and compliance.
The partnership allows Temecula Valley Winery Management to offer the latest technology solutions to those starting their own wineries as well as managers of existing wineries.
"Over the past two years, we've made it easier and affordable for anyone who has signed up for our unique winery management services to get into the wine business," said Rebaux Steyn, managing director of Temecula Valley Winery Management. "Now we can give our clients the latest technological tools and flexibility to better manage all aspects of their business and remain compliant with regulatory agencies."
Software leader Microsoft agreed to provide 100 percent financing for a integrated winery technology package that includes a tasting room POS (point of sale) system, eCommerce web solution for selling wine online, and all hardware, software, compliance management and services needed for the project.
A little more than a year after opening its doors, Temecula Valley Winery management has made it easy for nearly a dozen clients to start their own wineries and to make, bottle and sell their own boutique wines.
TVWM's 33,000-square-foot Virtual Vineyard to Vendor facility on Diaz Road in Temecula, CA operates as a fully bonded winery host facility and provides a secured space for multiple winemakers to process their own grapes and produce their own wines under the guidance of award-winning consulting winemaker Tim Kramer.
Temecula Valley Winery Management's unique structure and services are possible because it operates as an "alternating proprietorship," an arrangement that allows fledgling winemakers to work within a fully licensed wine making facility to produce and sell wine directly to consumers.
Temecula Valley Winery Management was created in June 2007. It is the only true full-service winery management company in Southern California. Rather than millions of dollars to start a winery, TVWM has lowered the cost of entry to the wine business to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In addition to crush, fermentation and bottling capabilities, TVWM will set up and manage wine clubs with its proprietary software program, train staff, establish a proven restaurant placement program, manage special events, ensure regulatory compliance and market and promote your winery and its wines.
This spring, Temecula valley Winery management plans to open a two-story, 2,800-square-foot co-op tasting room/wine bar in picturesque Old Town Temecula where wine lovers can taste and buy boutique wines made by its clients.
