New in 1.8, Patience Pays: • Read the rim: raise the glass from a wine in the cellar or on the sale screen and tilt your phone (or drag the glass). The rim's color tells the wine's age. • Age-worthy wines hide one finest season inside their peak. A bright edge on the rim gives it away. Bottle the wine then and it keeps its peak value, plus 10%. • Every new campaign, Quick included, plays one turn per season: winter, spring and summer. Harvest is still month by month, and the weather risk you see covers the whole season. • Sell or hold shows the sale you'd make now and what one more year nets after storage. • The Local Wine Shop pays a little more for two-year-old Cabernet and Sangiovese. • Grand Master needs a strong finish: Grand Cru in 2 of your last 5 vintages. • Long estates: the staff bill reads your average revenue over three years, so one big sale doesn't swell next year's costs. From vintage 21, Soil Amendment keeps working all season on tired soil. • The Estate Bundle keeps its own row in the barrel room. • Fixes and polish. Quick games started before 1.8 finish month by month. Thanks for playing!

New in 1.7.0, the Barrel Room update: • Harvest timing shows the wine you'd make by picking now or waiting, and the weather risk of waiting. • A new look: your estate is a barrel room, with the cellar's casks aging toward their peak. • Winemaking shows the quality, tier and value of every choice. Wild yeast is now a real gamble. • Sell now or hold a year: every wine shows what waiting is worth, after storage. • Plant a second grape from the start, and blends keep their full volume. • Each year's summary names what held your vintage back, and planning explains its recommendation. • Your campaign ends with every vintage on a barrel rack. • Fixes: no wine is lost without warning, and the numbers on every screen match the game. Thanks for playing!

New in 1.6.1: • Now in 10 languages: Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Hindi join English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. • Grape names in your cellar and sales now appear in your language. • The language picker shows your language's flag. • The privacy policy opens in your language. Thanks for playing!

New in 1.6.0: Campaign mode is here. • Choose Quick, Full Arc, or Endless. • Shape each season with block-level actions, timing, and trade-offs. • Explore regional vineyards and grape varieties. • Save and resume campaigns with improved migration and stability. Thanks for playing Vineyard Sim.

THE ESTATE UPDATE No ads. Ever. Not a banner, not a break — the whole game is yours. Every screen has been re-lit: claret and parchment by day, a candlelit cellar after dark. Seasons move faster now, harvests land harder, and your best vintages are met with the ceremony they deserve. Own the Estate Bundle? Run three estates side by side and keep every terroir in play at once. New — the Vintner's Patron pack, for the collectors: patron motifs in the Label Studio, a flourish on every ceremony, and your name on the estate record. Pour something good. This one's for keeping.

This vintage, every choice carries weight. Overnight dilemmas now interrupt your season — a burst irrigation line, a mildew scare, a labor shortage. Pay to set it right, or take the cheap way out and gamble on the fallout. Each year you commit to one of three buyer contracts for double the reward. And every block of vines now has its own character — sun-baked ridges that ripen hot and drink deep, cool valley floors, weathered old terraces — so no two corners of your estate play the same. Make it yours: design your winery's own label in the new Label Studio, then bottle your finest wines to earn a premium and win over the Wine Club. Plus polish and stability fixes throughout. Thanks for playing! If Vineyard Sim has earned a place on your home screen, a quick rating helps a small studio like ours keep growing.

Your cellar just got deeper. Every new vineyard now starts with an inherited barrel already aging in the cellar, aging peaks arrive within your five-year campaign, and each wine shows its estimated value — so bottling at the right moment finally pays. Smarter seasons and sales: weather now shapes how well your vineyard actions work, fermentation methods pair differently with each grape, and the sale screen spells out payment terms and what's bottled before you commit. Optional harvest reminders can nudge you when your vineyard needs you, and this update rounds things out with stability fixes and interface polish. Thanks for playing!
