Small vineyards with a cellar door are a farm, a shop and a visitor attraction at once, with a short season for tours and a long list of records. Booking, online shop, email, accounting and field record apps can handle tour bookings, club subscriptions, trade invoices and spray diaries, and an AI assistant can draft tasting notes. Alcohol Duty returns and age checks stay with the owner, with HMRC's service and your own diary as the record.
