Taking Care of Business for Over 60 Years

Wine and Agribusiness Group

Local ranchers and farmers have been coming to Andre, Morris & Buttery for over 60 years. The agricultural community was the foundation of Peter Andre's original practice. Known for his signature cowboy hat and smile, Pete found ranchers to be some of his favorite clients. That tradition continues at the firm today, where agribusiness remains an active practice area. Representation of Central Coast agricultural clients includes ranchers, farmers, greenhouse growers, and, of course, wine grape growers and vintners. As the Central Coast has developed as a premiere wine region, our firm has mirrored that growth by naturally expanding our existing agribusiness practice to assist our winery and vineyard clients in various wine industry specific needs, such as the development of tasting room facilities, acquisition of winery and vineyard properties, vineyard management contracts, grape contracts and obtaining trademarks for coveted brand and wine names.
