- 41
- Employees
- 96 (69 Full-time, 27 Part-time)
- Facilities & Assets
- There are two locations included in the purchase price. Location 1 is a family owned vineyard, manufacturing, tasting and entertainment facility located on approximately 140 acres in a prime US wine growing region as determined by Wine Enthusiast Magazine. Also included is all manufacturing equipment and FFE for the tasting facility.
Location 2 is a premier co-packing and manufacturing facility located on 177 acres of additional prime wine growing property, including all packaging, manufacturing, storage and tasting facilities and equipment. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The Company currently distributes across the East Coast, has tremendous brand recognition in the marketplace and its core brands have national distribution potential. Known as a dynamic innovator, the Company’s potential is unlimited. The company’s winemakers are continually developing wines to meet consumer taste preferences.
The buyer will acquire a regional wine producer, regionally recognized, with award winning brands and an established distribution system. - Opportunities for Growth
- According to 2024 Wine Market Report, published by the Bank of Montreal, the U.S. wine business in 2024 is stronger than many assume and continues to provide opportunities for growth for most wine producers. The rising tide may have ebbed, but the tempests of the past four years have come to an end and wineries must now chart a course through a competitive market. While the fight for market share will be challenging, the wine industry remains supported by loyal consumers who are still purchasing high-quality wines at premium prices
