Veraison Partners has the team and experience in place to navigate the federal approval process and get your AVA petition perfected.
Our Approach
1. Determining Viability
What many AVA petition consultants won’t tell you is that not every emerging wine region is ready to create an AVA. In addition to the criteria listed on the TTB website, AVA viability is based upon a variety of nuanced factors that our team has catalogued thanks to our experience with AVA petitioning. Before even beginning an AVA petition, we will truthfully and transparently tell you the likelihood of your region achieving an AVA status.
2. Precise and Thorough Research
After agreeing to work on your AVA petition, our team knows the exact information and structure required to put together a successful submission. Knowing the exact historical, geographical, geological, and meteorological data to incorporate into your petition document helps us move through the research phase far faster than other petitioners.
3. Hyperlocal Understanding
Every wine region has its idiosyncrasies and unique attributes. Each of these differences play an important role in what your AVA petition will look like, and our team we will work with your industry leaders to develop an understanding of the driving forces that impact your wine region.
4. Petition Writing and Submission
Combining our research with in-depth local knowledge of your wine producing region, our team will create an initial AVA petition that we believe will need the minimum amount of revisions required to be accepted as perfected.
5. Managing REvisions
Revisions to an initial AVA petition are inevitable. With our team’s knowledge of the revision process and our ability to zero in on the exact modifications requested by the TTB, our goal is to take your petition to accepted as perfected in as few revisions as possible.
