Vines Per Acre Calculator / Calculating Vines Per Acre for Vineyards

A vines per acre calculator helps vineyard managers and farmers determine the optimal number of grapevines that can be planted within an acre of land.

Vines Per Acre Calculation Formula

The formula for calculating vines per acre is:

Vines per Acre = (43,560 ÷ Row Spacing) × (1 ÷ Vine Spacing)

Where:

• 43,560 represents the square feet in one acre
• Row Spacing is measured in feet between rows
• Vine Spacing is measured in feet between vines within a row

For example, if planning a vineyard with:

• Row spacing: 8 feet
• Vine spacing: 5 feet

The calculation would be: (43,560 ÷ 8) × (1 ÷ 5) = 5,445 × 0.2 = 1,089 vines per acre

Vines Per Acre Example Calculations

Consider a vineyard with the following specifications:

• Row spacing: 9 feet
• Vine spacing within rows: 6 feet
• Total acre area: 43,560 square feet

Using these measurements, we can calculate:

• First determine the area per vine: 9 ft × 6 ft = 54 square feet
• Then divide total acre area by area per vine: 43,560 ÷ 54 = 807 vines per acre
