Vineyard owners and tenants are recognised as members of the federation upon payment of the annual membership fee to the federation. People who cultivate vines, as well as wine-growing organisations based in the canton of Vaud, should send their membership application to the committee of their section or to the federation's office. People who express an interest in vine cultivation can send a membership application to the committee, with the support of a member of the regional section committee.
