We are here when you want to enter the wine business - or to extend your current holdings in the industry. Let us be your trusted guide with the experience, foresight and connections to maximize your ROI.
Buying a Vineyard
A successful vineyard acquisition relies on numerous considerations, including vine health, yield history, grape contracts, production potential, AVA and terroir.
Our expertise in vineyard operations gives us a distinct edge in analyzing potential acquisitions. In addition to being a REALTOR®, VWX’s Brittany Thompson is an experienced winemaker and viticulturist who knows the wine industry from ground to glass. Her hands-on field experience ensures that no stone will go unturned in helping you acquire a vineyard with optimal long-term prospects.
Buying a Winery or Brand
Your success in acquiring a physical winery and/or wine brand depends on multiple factors—including market timing, asset assessments, production capabilities, financial projections and marketing considerations.
With our background in winery mergers and acquisitions, we know how to fully analyze these factors. This, in turn, enables us to guide you to the right opportunities and embolden your position as a buyer.
