P.S. Alvarez Farm Labor Services was founded on the dedication and expertise of Pascual S. Alvarez, who began his journey in the farm labor industry in the mid-1980s. After honing his skills with a former employer, he was given the opportunity to graft a 40-acre vineyard block while working as a tractor operator for a local table grape grower. This pivotal moment allowed him to establish his own farm labor contracting business, initially as a sole proprietorship. Through years of hard work and an unwavering commitment to quality, he became a trusted name in vineyard grafting, working with some of the most well-known table and wine grape growers across California. In 2010, the company was officially incorporated, and with the addition of his sons, Evelio and Angel Alvarez, the business continued to expand, cementing itself as a leader in the industry.
As a family-owned and operated company, P.S. Alvarez Farm Labor Services is built on the values of integrity, dedication, and excellence.

Professional preparation and maintenance services to streamline the grafting process and ensure your vineyard is ready for transformation.
Grafting is a horticultural technique where a cutting or bud from one plant is attached to the rootstock of another plant. This allows the new plant to grow using the established root system, offering quicker results and higher efficiency compared to replanting.
We guarantee a 95% success rate on all grafting projects. Any missed grafts are regrafted free of charge to ensure optimal results.
Production begins the following year after grafting, with full production typically achieved by the third year—much faster than replanting an entirely new vineyard
Pricing depends on the location, size of the vineyard, and scope of the project. Contact us for a customized quote tailored to your specific needs.
