Business Description
This business wants to grow, but my family comes first.
Red River Rides, LLC is the only dedicated wine touring company in the Gainesville, Texas region—an area experiencing rapid growth in vineyard development and wine tourism. With exclusive partnerships and outstanding relationships with a growing number of local wineries, this business is perfectly positioned for expansion.

Operating profitably on weekends only, we currently turn down nearly as many bookings as we accept. Demand is strong, and the business is primed for a new owner to unlock its full potential by expanding hours and offerings.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey operation with:

A loyal customer base and stellar reputation

Established winery partnerships and referral networks

Low overhead and scalable operations

Proven profitability with minimal operating hours

It is not only profitable. It is fun! Our business ethos has been to help people Relax, Laugh and Discover the Best of North Texas. We are successful, because we help people slow down - if only for a day and enjoy the people they are with. We've never mixed groups on our vehicle choosing to rely on our clients familiarity with each other to keep it fun. It works! In four years of operating we've only refused future service to one group. Our clients love us and refer us to their friends.

There is a lot of untapped potential. We've done Christmas Light trips for families and sold out every timeslot available. We have been booked for professional sports and concerts in Dallas, but have never marketed to do that work. There are several wedding venues who refer their clients to us, but we've only scratched the surface of what could be done in that market space. Similarly, Winstar is a huge untapped market. There is a way to make that profitable - especially with their new concert venue - but we've not focused on that opportunity.

Facilities & Assets
Included with the sale is our 15 passenger bus. The vehicle currently has less than 50,000 miles, recently replaced tires and was painted in 2024. It looks and drives great. Also included is the programmable party bus lighting system and bluetooth system with dual microphones for entertainment during the ride. The vehicle has had all routine maintenance and should be reliable for years to come. We have agreements with local wineries for the window coverings. The wineries pay about $10,000 a year for this placement and we have a waiting list for this.

Market Outlook / Competition
We have been profitable only posting on our facebook page and several group pages in the area. There are no other businesses focusing on this market and the City of Gainesville recently hired a tourism professional, who has a goal of making Gainesville the hub of NTX wine touring. Winstar is just 10 minutes from Gainesville and we've not attempted to market there as it would overwhelm our current capacity. We also COULD take groups to Red River Station just about any Friday/Saturday night, but to date I only go when they have a concert I want to hear.
Opportunities for Growth
The city of Gainesville will soon experience rapid growth as BNSF will begin laying track to our Industrial Rail park later this year, creating jobs, and opportunity for you. A housing development approved for 750 new homes is under construction. Our business is ready to grow, but I am not interested in growing. We have functioned as a Fr-Su business, but routinely get calls for trips during the week. We often receive calls for Airport Transfer or WInstar Casino Transportation that we do not provide. There is huge growth potential for the right owner.
About the Sale
Seller Motivation
Helping our daughter as she transitions to adulthood takes priority.
Transition Support
Having recently retired from a fulltime job, I am available to train, mentor, and introduce you to the owners of each of the wineries we serve. I'll introduce you to the restaurant owners of the dining establishments our clients love to visit following their day at the wineries or before concerts. We can also introduce you to key contacts in the City of Gainesville.
