We’re not another startup chasing AI hype.
We’re Helping Wine Growers Make Better Decisions in a Changing Climate.
Started in 2024
Our Story
Thallo is building climate decision intelligence that empowers wine growers to make more informed decisions, strengthen business resilience, and protect the quality and legacy behind every vintage.
Why we exist
Climate has always shaped wine. Today, it’s changing faster than ever before.
Wine growers are being asked to make increasingly complex decisions as growing conditions become less predictable. Protecting grape quality, harvest timing, and long-term business resilience requires more than intuition alone.
We believe artificial intelligence should help solve these real-world challenges by turning environmental complexity into practical decision intelligence.

Why Wine
Wine is one of the world's most climate-sensitive agricultural industries.
Even small shifts in weather can have big consequences.
A few degrees of heat → grape development drifts, and quality follows.
Less water than planned → vine health and operating costs collide.
Wildfire smoke in the air → testing, doubt, and decisions under pressure.
Winters too mild to kill pests → pressure arrives earlier, spreads farther, and costs more to fight.
A season that moves → harvest windows shrink, and timing errors get expensive.
Compromised harvest → vintage loses its character, and brand loyalty is at risk.
In this business, the margin between a great year and a lost one is a handful of decisions.
Our Vision
We envision a future where growers no longer have to navigate climate uncertainty with incomplete information.
Our goal is to help vineyards anticipate risk earlier, evaluate trade-offs with greater confidence, and make informed decisions that protect grape quality, strengthen resilient businesses, and preserve generations of winemaking expertise.
Our Approach
We're building Thallo alongside the people who understand these challenges firsthand.
We're collaborating with vineyard owners, estate managers, winemakers, researchers, and AI engineers to ensure every decision we make is grounded in real-world experience and scientific thinking.
