How to Sell Your Winery

How do you put a price tag on the heart and soul you've poured into your winery? You've honed your processes, perfected your varietals, and established your brand.

Your winery business is far more than its terroir, tonnage produced and buildings. The Vintner, Winemaker, cost of operations, market conditions, and perceived status of your label all play a part in valuing your business.

You are not selling Real Estate. You are selling a Business.

You may not know this, but the process used to sell your Winery Business can determine both the terms and the timeliness of the sale. If you've never sold a Winery before, some of the finer details of the sales process can be quite surprising.

We remove the surprise factor and ease your transition.

Selling and Buying Wineries in California

A Division of Bowman/Hanson, Merger & Acquisition Advisors

Bowman/Hanson (California Winery Brokers) is a Merger & Acquisitions firm that specializes in working with privately held businesses worth between $3 and $50 million. We specialize in wineries for sale in California.

Although we are licensed Real Estate Brokers, we are first and foremost Merger & Acquisition Advisors, in business to help you optimize your transition and the sale of your winery.

Our goal is to help you understand how the process of selling a winery works. When you understand how your business is valued and then sold, all the decisions you have to make each day – about leases, employees, equipment, inventory, and whether it is the right time to sell – become much clearer and easier to make.

If you’re like most winery owners in California, you anticipate an increase in sales and gross margin in the coming years and have updated your financial projections accordingly. Translating this and other factors into optimal sales terms shouldn’t pose a problem. Unfortunately, it does…

Business valuation is both an art and a science. Selling your winery to an outside investor or buyer can be complicated by any number of concerns, many of which arise unexpectedly through normal due diligence.

That’s why we spend so much time up front to anticipate and uncover these “unexpected” obstacles.

Review our process for selling your winery. Then, see how we work with you to add value before we talk to possible buyers. Call us about California Wineries for Sale or for Selling Your California Winery

Get started today, even if you’re looking to sell 10 years down the road.
