Our 2024 winery standard has been published. You can access the new checklist by logging into your winery account or clicking here.
The main change for 2024 is that we have eliminated Yellow items and recategorized them to either red or green items (ie. required or recommended). Members will have until June 1, 2025 to comply with any item that was recategorized from yellow to red.
If you are interested in enrolling your winery for certification, you can do so at livecertified.org/enroll.
