The Winegrower’s Secret Weapon

For vineyards and wineries, water management defines wine quality. With Lumo, you can precisely control irrigation timing and amounts to influence grape size, flavor, and ripeness — automatically. Lumo’s smart irrigation platform takes the guesswork (and the grunt work) out of vineyard irrigation.

Deliver water when your vines need it most, conserve resources, and meet sustainability goals — all from your phone. Better grapes, fewer labor hours, and a more resilient vineyard. That’s the Lumo difference.

Optimize Quality and Consistency

Precision Watering for Perfect Ripeness

Every winemaker knows: irrigation timing can make or break a vintage. Lumo enables precise control at every growth stage — from flowering through veraison to harvest.

With programmable scheduling and automated control, you can implement advanced techniques like controlled deficit irrigation to concentrate sugars and flavors in your grapes. The result?
More uniform ripening, improved flavor development, and greater consistency across your blocks — season after season.

DIG DEEPER

Can automated irrigation really improve wine grape quality?

Absolutely. Consistency and timing are critical to grape development. With Lumo, you can fine-tune irrigation schedules by vine growth stage — for example, irrigating during berry set and then applying controlled stress at veraison for flavor concentration. The result: better berry size, sugar balance, and uniform ripeness for higher-quality wine.

We have a lot of legacy irrigation infrastructure — will Lumo work in an established vineyard?

Yes. Lumo is designed for retrofitting. Our smart valves fit standard pipe sizes and replace manual or electric valves directly, without trenching or rewiring. You can upgrade your vineyard to smart control while keeping your existing drip lines, pumps, and mains.

How does this help with sustainable winegrowing certifications?

Programs like Napa Green, SIP Certified, and LIVE require water conservation and data tracking. Lumo gives you both: precise irrigation control and automated digital records of water use. You’ll save water, lower pump energy costs, and strengthen your sustainability profile — all while supporting certification goals.

Is the system scalable for large wine estates?

Definitely. Lumo scales from 10-acre family vineyards to 1,000-acre commercial ranches. Each valve operates autonomously yet connects through the cloud platform for centralized visibility. You can manage by block, ranch, or region — keeping your entire operation consistent and efficient.

From the Grower’s Mouth

Hannah Lindner Wente Vineyards
“With the Lumo valves, we have this micro control that we didn't have in the past. We know that what we are scheduling is getting executed, we know the timing is right, and we have confidence we’ll get the quality that we want from the vineyard.”
Gustavo Aviña Pine Ridge Vineyards
“I chose Lumo because the installation and the valve operation are very easy. We’re now able to do more precise irrigations, giving water to the vines when they need it, and only what they need. After we started automating irrigation, we produced the best fruit I’ve ever seen.”
Ryan Decker Clos du Val
“The product is plug and play without any wires to run or radios to set up. A flow meter is incorporated into each valve that is capable of delivering irrigation sets by a volume, instead of a duration. I’ll be able to log all irrigations, by volume, for any water use reporting requirements that either exist now or will in the future. I think that more than any other company I've worked with, Lumo has listened to what we've had to say in the industry.”
Tyler Klick Redwood Empire Vineyard Management
“The software platform is extremely easy to use and functions very well. When we have had issues, Lumo’s been out there before we even got there. The valves have been reliable and have really helped us fine tune our operation as it pertains to irrigation. Lumo is the first automated irrigation solution that I have confidence I can go to my clients and say, ‘If you want automation, this is something we can use.’”
