Scout is an AI-powered analytics platform built for precision viticulture.
Developed with growers, researchers, and vineyard operators, Scout delivers vine-by-vine insights into health, performance, and productivity. Using computer vision, AI, and location services, it transforms routine fieldwork into actionable intelligence.

These insights help extend vineyard lifespan and drive sustainability across three critical areas: vine performance and health, operational efficiency, and long-term financial performance.

From detecting virus symptoms to measuring canopy and fruit performance to forecasting yields, Scout equips vineyard teams with the actionable insights they need to make smarter, faster decisions—both in the field and in the office.

Scout delivers precision, performance, productivity, and profitability—vine by vine. 

Why is Scout Needed?

There are over 500,000 acres of vineyards in the U.S., managed by more than 500 vineyard management companiesand 1,500+ estate growers.

But over the past five years, climate chaos, labor shortages and higher costs, and a shifting market have made grape farming more unpredictable, more expensive, and more challenging to manage.

The situation is further strained by a soft wine market. As farming budgets tighten, growers are under pressure to make smarter, faster, and more efficient decisions across operations, planning, and resource allocation.

Yet many still rely on manual scouting or aerial imagery—methods that are often inaccurate, incomplete, and prone to risk. These outdated tools lead to blind spots, wasted time, and poor forecasting.

With budgets under pressure, the need for actionable insights has never been greater.

Improving vineyard performance not only enhances fruit quality—it also preserves and increases long-term land value.

At Scout, we believe this is the time to modernize vineyard operations—helping great farmers achieve both financial performance and fruit quality with more confidence, clarity, and control.
