What does winery & vineyard cover include?
Wineries and vineyards face risks a generic policy isn't written for — from bushfire and flood to equipment failure mid-vintage.
- Protection for vines and trees — Crop insurance for vineyards and orchards, covering weather-related risks, pest and disease, and natural disasters that hit yield and quality.
- Property and cellar — Cover for winery and homestead buildings, equipment, inventory, business and farm liability, and business interruption.
- Distillery and winemaking — Cover for property, liability, equipment, inventory and business interruption — including equipment breakdown, wine leakage and contamination, tank collapse, and property in transit.
- Machinery and equipment — Tractors, harvesters, sprayers and vineyard machinery, plus the cost of repairing fermentation tanks, bottling lines, crushers, presses, pumps and refrigeration units that break down.
Why choose KeyInsure for your winery cover?
You need a broker who understands the industry, not a generic policy. We specialise in winery cover — including the details that matter, like wine leakage and contamination — and build a policy around your operation.

Cimicky WineryCommon questions
What type of insurance do I need for a winery?
- Which policies should a winery hold together? — Most wineries combine property and cellar cover, crop cover, liability and business interruption. We'll look at your operation — vineyard, cellar door, distillery or all three — and build a package rather than selling you separate policies.
- Do I need equipment breakdown cover? — If a fermentation tank, bottling line or refrigeration unit fails mid-vintage, the cost is immediate. Equipment breakdown cover is designed for mechanical or electrical failure — worth considering alongside your property cover.
- Are weather events covered? — Policies can cover weather-related risks to your crop and property, including bushfire and flood. Coverage varies by policy, so we'll confirm exactly what applies to your block.
