Ultra Premium & Profitable Winery On Market for the First Time
Business Description
Nestled in the heart of Santa Ynez Valley, just one mile from downtown and thirty minutes from Santa Barbara, this ultra-premium winery and vineyard estate represents one of the most compelling acquisition opportunities to emerge from California's Central Coast wine country in years.
Built over the past decade from the ground up, the business has matured into a thriving, profitable enterprise — generating $1.5 million in revenue and strong EBITDA, all while being managed on a semi-absentee basis.
