Wine certification fees are divided into two categories: Audit and Certification. Audits take around 1-4 hours and fees are charged on an hourly basis and paid directly to the auditor (estimated fees range from $50 – $150 per hour). The cost of the entire audit depends on the grower’s readiness and organization. Certification Fees are paid on an annual basis and are charged per case.
