In April 2003, Crossing Vineyards and Winery utilized the latest laser technology to plant ten acres of Vinifera winegrapes.

A laser siting device was used in conjunction with a grape vine planter to design perfectly straight vineyard rows. This ensures uniform spacing, which allows for optimal vine development. The planting time is also reduced from several weeks to a few days, thus reducing stress on the young vines and giving them a greater probability of survival.
