The Complexity of Multi-Block Vineyard Irrigation
Running a vineyard with multiple blocks often means juggling irrigation zones that vary in soil type, grape variety, and water demand. Traditionally, this requires manual adjustments, long drives between blocks, and constant monitoring to avoid over- or under-watering any one section.
For vineyards spread across large or remote properties, this complexity compounds—each block needing its own schedule and optimization. The result? Countless hours lost to manual labor and inconsistent vine performance.

DIG DEEPER
Lumo’s Ops Center software lets you create unique schedules for each block or group of blocks. You can tailor run times or volumes per block to account for vine age, soil, or varietal needs. All schedules run automatically once set, but you can adjust any block on the fly from your phone or computer. Yes. Each Lumo smart valve has a built-in flow meter and controller, so it regulates irrigation per block independently. The system monitors flow rate in real time, adjusting to deliver the target volume for each zone. If a block has issues like a clog or leark, you’ll get an alert—ensuring no block is over- or under-supplied.
Absolutely. As long as there is cellular network coverage, Lumo valves can be deployed in fields miles apart and still report to the same dashboard. Growers with properties in different locations can monitor and control all their blocks centrally—ideal for estate wineries and regional producers.
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.’”
