If you are looking for a fun, niche business, this one may be for you. This classy business endeavors to educate consumers about wine through a variety of classes, private events and consulting. With a background in the wine industry, the Seller observed an increase of wine interest. However, she says “People are interested in wine, yet know nothing about it and don't know where to really begin”. According to the Seller, this business is the first company to directly educate all levels of the wine industry, from the individual to the restaurant. The educational wine ‘events' are tailored to meet private or corporate needs, from large parties to corporate team builders and everything in between. Clients contact the business to coordinate ‘events’, whether private or corporate. A typical event is structured based on the client budget, but typically includes wine tasting, perhaps some food, and education about the variety of wines being served. The business holds one or two classes per month in various locations with the emphasis being on wine education.

Year Established: 2005

Relocatable: Yes

Home Based: Yes

Facilities: The business is currently home-based with classes and events held off-site, determined by the venue. The classes are typically intimate gatherings of 8-10 students, while events have been as large as 500 guests.

Market Outlook and Competition: The Company is doing no advertising at this time. The Seller stopped all fee-based advertising in mid-2007 because she felt it was an unprofitable expense. She has built up her clientele primarily through word of mouth referrals and by passing out her business cards and brochures at all events. She also has a website.

Management Training and Support: Seller will provide up to one month

Reason For Selling: Insufficient time and capital
