Take a Sneak Peek!


Our course creators are thrilled to bring you an immersive and comprehensive plunge into the TTB required recording and activity for Harvest specific compliance. While the information may be dry, like a Riesling, you can be assured that the content is full bodied like a tall bottle of single vineyard Cab Franc after a long day in the cellar.

Here's a sneak peak to whet the palette.

Does this sound like you?

  1. Winery compliance is just one part of your job and you have no idea if you’re doing it right
  2. You lose sleep wondering if you’re vulnerable to a TTB audit because your records are a mess
  3. Harvest is already chaotic enough without adding not knowing how to fill out records and reports
  4. You’d like to get everything more organized and make things simpler
  5. You’re brand new to winery compliance and want to learn how to do things the right way

We’ve created this course for you because we’ve been where you are! And we know that there is little to no training for winery compliance.

This course focuses on the federal branch, the TTB (Alcohol & Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau) which regulates all US wineries.

What’s our winery harvest background?

I'm Ann Reynolds the course founder. In addition to my 31 years working in and with wineries I've also taught winery compliance courses since 2006. Working close with me on the creation of this course are three fellow talented & seasoned winery veterans. Together we have a total of over 4 decades of harvest experience. We're talking about real world "in the trenches" working at wineries, weighing loads of grapes, tracking harvest work orders and filling out the TTB 5120.17 report. (& getting stained, sticky & exhausted along the way!)

To put it simply there is a lot to know when it comes to your required TTB compliance. Combined with that is the fact that you only deal with the harvest area of your TTB compliance once a year, so each year when it comes around you may feel like you have to refresh your memory for how to do things!

It was our experiences working many grape harvests year after year that allowed us to learn the following.

  1. What is required to be documented
  2. How to record that information on winery documents
  3. How to report those numbers from the documents on the TTB 5120.17 report.


We’re extremely excited to share our hard earned knowledge with you!
We’re confident that you’ll pick up information from this course that will be useful and have you saying “oh, I get it!”.
It's our thing to make sense of your compliance!
