Solera review
A broad winery management system, with plans for smaller operations through multi-facility teams.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Solera brings vineyard operations, cellar and fermentation management, lab tracking, compliance and inventory into a winery-focused system. Its scope also reaches bottling, production costs, warehouse logistics and wholesale distribution, making it relevant to teams looking to coordinate more than cellar records alone. The product is available through web and mobile deployment, and its listed capabilities span small, mid-market and enterprise wineries.
The feature breadth is a central reason to consider Solera. Vineyard block mapping and ripening tracking sit alongside vintage, lab and weather records, dry goods inventory, bottling quality control and lot-level production cost tracking. Compliance reporting covers the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand, while wholesale distribution and license tracking extend the system beyond production. That range may suit a winery seeking one operational system across vineyard, cellar and distribution. A smaller producer needing only a focused cellar tool may find this wider scope unnecessary.
Plan choice determines access to important additions. Pro includes vintage, lab, weather and data import, cellar and fermentation management, TTB compliance and OW-1 reports for US wineries, plus email support. Growth adds production cost tracking, QuickBooks cost export, quality control with automatic hold on fail, warehouse and logistics, and the Ask Solera AI assistant. Enterprise adds grower contract management, labor and crew compliance, a custom crush client portal, multi-facility management, webhooks, advanced API access and SSO / SAML 2.0. Solera connects with Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Commerce7, WineDirect and Shopify. Its 30-day trial gives buyers a chance to assess fit; teams that do not need these broader workflows should compare narrower winery software instead.
