The Terroir Atelier

Investment Levels

Every engagement begins the same way—time in the field, the full five-pillar system, and a final handoff built so any team member, creative partner, or future hire can pick it up and speak fluently about your property.

Choose based on your property’s size, team structure, and how long-term you need continuity to be.

Every property’s uniqueness of place is different, and so is the scope required to protect it.

LEVEL 1

CLOS — Foundational

For properties where the story is already there—waiting to be named.

€45,000 – €75,000 | 3–4 months

A foundational system that ensures your property’s story survives staff turnover and seasonal breaks. Your team gains fluency in what makes you irreplaceable. Knowledge moves from people’s heads into structured archives.

Includes:

BRAND FOUNDATION — Full Place Intelligence audit + core messaging framework

STORY PRESERVATION — Seasonal Story Library (2 seasons covered)

TEAM FLUENCY — 2–3 Story Ambassadors trained; workshops 20–30 staff

CONTINUITY— Final handoff organized so future hires can speak fluently about your place.

BEST FOR — Small seasonal properties where the land does most of the talking—and you need knowledge to travel between summer guests and winter staff.

LEVEL 2

CRU — Complete

For properties where heritage and contemporary sensibility must coexist across languages.

€85,000 – €135,000 | 4–6 months

A complete identity infrastructure. Your story becomes multilingual, season-spanning, and resilient to staff changes. The Knowledge Archive outlasts every hire and becomes embedded in operations.

Includes:

BRAND FOUNDATION — Full Place Intelligence System + complete messaging architecture

STORY PRESERVATION — Full Seasonal Story Library, all 4 seasons including shoulder

TEAM FLUENCY — 4–5 Story Ambassadors trained; workshops for 20–50 staff

SCALE & LANGUAGE — Multilingual story tools; cross-seasonal consistency guaranteed

CONTINUITY — Final handoff + 6-month check-ins to ensure adoption

BEST FOR — Year-round properties with international teams and guests—where consistency across languages and seasons is non-negotiable.

LEVEL 3

GRAND CRU —Stewardship

For established properties building institutional memory as competitive advantage.

€150,000+ | 6–9 months (+ Year 1 Stewardship)

A living system that evolves with your property. Beyond initial implementation, you gain ongoing stewardship—quarterly refreshes, annual audits, and continuous adaptation as seasons change and teams grow.

Includes:

BRAND FOUNDATION — Full five-pillar implementation + complete visual identity system

STORY PRESERVATION — Seasonal Story Library, all seasons including shoulder

TEAM FLUENCY — 6+ Story Ambassadors trained; workshops for 50–80 staff

MULTICULTURAL SCALE — Multilingual + cultural adaptation tools

YEAR ONE STEWARDSHIP — Quarterly story refresh, annual fluency audit, seasonal bootcamp updates, guest feedback synthesis

BEST FOR — Established properties ready to build systems that outlast ownership changes, not just seasonal turnover, where institutional memory itself is your deepest competitive moat.

What all engagements include:

DEEP RESEARCH & FIELDWORK— Walking the land, interviewing your people, documenting the systems, rhythms, and relationships that took decades to build.

FIVE-PILLAR SYSTEM BUILD— Place Intelligence, Seasonal Story Architecture, Staff Fluency, Regenerative Operations, Irreplaceable Content

KNOWLEDGE ARCHIVE HANDOFF— Organized so any creative team, agency, or staff member can pick it up and speak fluently about your property.


Scope and timeline for everything beyond the research and fieldwork phase are determined by property size, team structure, and complexity. Pricing available in EUR, USD, and CHF.
