Additional Opportunities to Add Value to The <strong>Winery</strong><br />
These opportunities will require capital investment - and the cost of this will need to be estimated by<br />
professionals in the area of expertise. All Opportunities are the responsibility of the buyer/investor and<br />
will need to <strong>com</strong>ply with local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations. Possible ways to increase<br />
in<strong>com</strong>e and ROI include:<br />
The current winery facility would need to be increased in size to ac<strong>com</strong>modate additional<br />
production. It would also be re<strong>com</strong>mended to buy additional equipment to manage a larger<br />
operation. An alternative to adding to the infrastructure of the winery would be to have the<br />
wine made at a custom crush facility. The existing winery could continue to be a tasting room<br />
and storage facility. The cost of custom crush, winemaking and storage at another facility caries<br />
and is unknown at this time and would be the responsibility of the buyer/investor to<br />
investigate.<br />
In addition to increased production, the winery would then need to develop the wholesale/distributor<br />
market and it would be re<strong>com</strong>mended to hire an employee to serve as Sales<br />
Manager, in charge of outside sales, marketing and distribution.<br />
Hypothetical: If the winery were to produce 8,000 +- cases at an average sales price of $200<br />
case (an average of retail & wholesale), the winery could produce $1.6M in revenue. Of course,<br />
additional expenses and economies of scale would apply to this growth.<br />
The winery tasting room could be expanded to sell more varied retail items.
