We are pleased to present a rare opportunity to acquire a long-standing fine wine business accompanied by real estate and a full restaurant liquor license. Established in 2009, this destination has become a trusted favorite among collectors and casual enthusiasts alike, offering a well-rounded inventory of more than 22,000 bottles across 2,000–3,000 SKUs. The collection includes highly sought-after collectible wines alongside an excellent selection of everyday wines at approachable price points, appealing to a broad range of customers.
Housed in a historic 1892 building that underwent more than $1 million in renovations in 2011, the nearly 4,000 sq. ft. property features elegant architectural details and modernized infrastructure throughout. The facility includes a fully equipped commercial kitchen, flexible retail and event space, and a full liquor license with Sunday and 2 a.m. privileges—ideal for tastings, dining, or private events. The real estate value is supported by comparable local sales, including the former Key Bank building at Corbly and Beechmont, offering strong market relevance and long-term investment security.
The business has maintained steady annual revenues in the $230K–$300K range since the pandemic, with ownership focused on maintaining quality and reinvesting in operations. Significant upside remains for a new owner to expand by reintroducing wine tastings, adding a food service or chef partnership, and leveraging the space for events and private functions—all of which could substantially increase sales and engagement.
Importantly, the fully equipped commercial kitchen—currently underutilized—represents one of the greatest growth opportunities. A new owner could partner with a talented chef or culinary entrepreneur to establish dinner service several nights per week, generating increased foot traffic, boosting bottle sales, and driving additional carry-out purchases. Corkage fees may be charged for consumption on premise, creating additional revenue. Notably, there is virtually no dining establishment in town offering back vintages or older wines for guests to enjoy with a great meal—giving this business a powerful and truly unique competitive edge, especially for diners who have never had the opportunity to experience older wines. Hosting collaborative wine dinners with distributors, winemakers, or winery owners could attract new clientele, create buzz, and generate meaningful additional revenue. With the right manager reinstating tastings and educational events, the business is poised for increased traffic, stronger trendlines, and long-term growth potential.
