Quote-ready worksheet · 2026 harvest
Custom crush service scope template.
Before harvest pressure builds, use this scope template to organize the details that move a custom crush inquiry from “interesting” to quote-ready: fruit, volume, pick window, cellar work, storage, bottling, and decision ownership.
Fastest path to fit
4 blocks
Fruit, timing, cellar work, and commercial plan. If those four blocks are clear enough, a 2026 capacity screen can start before every final number is locked.

When to send it
Do not wait for perfect numbers if August capacity is the concern.
Now
Send ranges instead of waiting for perfect numbers. Capacity screening can start with approximate tons, pick window, and services.
Before August
Confirm decision owner, fruit status, and cellar scope so tanks, labor, and storage can be evaluated.
Harvest week
Use the agreed scope to coordinate receiving, crush-pad timing, fermentation plan, and urgent changes.
FAQ
Service scope questions.
Do I need a finished production plan before asking for a quote?+
No. A useful quote conversation can start with ranges: fruit status, estimated tons, pick window, service needs, storage needs, and release goals. The scope can be tightened as details firm up.
Who should use a custom crush service scope template?+
Growers, emerging brands, restaurants, hotels, event venues, private-label teams, and wineries with overflow lots can use it to organize the details a production facility needs before harvest gets busy.
What makes a scope quote-ready?+
The fastest scopes identify the fruit, volume range, pick window, required cellar services, storage/bottling expectations, decision owner, and any launch deadline that could affect production planning.
