Located in beautiful northern Sonoma County where coastal influence collides with far reaching valleys and towering mountains creating one of the finest wine regions in the world. Healsburg has become the most desired locales in all of wine country with its posh yet friendly downtown centered around a tree filled square. Numerous fine restaurants are within walking distance along with a any number of classic boutiques containing designer clothing, fine art, coffee shops and even an ice cream parlor for those hot summer afternoon strolls around the plaza. 

 

As if the town weren’t enough the main attraction to the area has got to be the awe inspiring natural beauty that seems to get even more beautiful around each corner. The natural setting created by the towering mountains, long valleys, the meandering Russian River and nearby Pacific Ocean combine to create numerous world-class grape growing regions and various microclimates. Very few places have this kind of diversity in such close proximity. Several of the best Appellations and grape growing regions branch out from Healdsburg including the Alexander Valley Appellation, Russian River Appellation, and Dry Creek Valley Appellations, all world class wine country destinations. 

 

The subject property is located in the Dry Creek Valley of Sonoma County just minutes from downtown Healdsburg. Dry Creek Valley is one of the most prestigious wine producing appellations, especially known for world class Zinfandel. There are approximately 60 bonded wineries in the Dry Creek Valley. The subject property has prime real estate on the main road of Dry Creek, easily accessible with tremendous visitor traffic. Can you say location, location, location?

 

Healdsburg sits at the crossroads of these amazing Appellations providing the worlds best Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel and Syrah. These are just some of the reasons more and more well-heeled tourists and wine aficionados are flooding the streets of this once quite country out post. In fact there is more development underway to accommodate our new visitors. There is a 300-acre development on the north side of town in the planning stages that will include a golf course, high-end hotel, top quality restaurant and estate homes. Also in the planning stages are another luxurious hotel and restaurant overlooking the Alexander Valley. This grand plan is Mediterranean look and will be an addition to the River Rock Casino.

 

This is an exceptionally unique opportunity based on the location, permits and ability to create a sparkling new facility. The property has a production license of 40,000 cases. This is amazing when it comes to wineries. This is not an asset that any winery can simply obtain. Our understanding is that this is one of the larger capacities available in the Dry Creek area.

 

The property presents an ideal setting for development. With Dry Creek running through the back of the property it provides a unique water feature not available to many other wineries. Also, the flat acreage makes most if not all of the land useable for business development whether it be the wine making facility, vineyards, gardens or the tasting room.

 

The existing facilities have capacity for a production of 5,000+ cases providing one with the opportunity to hit the ground running and build their business over time. Additional capacity can be expanded to grow with production as the winery increases production to reach its 40,000 case capacity. The current buildings include an approximate 2,000 sq/ft home with two bedrooms now being used as a tasting facility and office space, and a barn used to store wines.

 

The property also has an amazing 30 event license. This license gives one the ability to work with large capacity events open to the public (private events do not require an event license). This means that the winery can participate in all the local / regional major events (barrel tasting weekend, Passport event, Winter Wineland) and in addition it can create its own major public events.

 

Plans have been prepared for a multi-million dollar facility of world-class status. Current facilities include a house that can be converted into an event space, thereby creating event revenue that also synergistically builds wine revenues (since events, such as weddings, require sales of said wineries wine). The plans include construction of a winemaking facility with a growth capacity for the subject winery but also capacity that can be used for a custom crush facility thereby providing multiple income streams including: A dedicated tasting room, events, large capacity production, and additional facilities.

 

Dedicated Tasting Room: Currently, tastings are limited, and a dedicated tasting room would bring in revenues 6 days per week, and be a major generator of the highest profit wine sales – retail sales. The tasting room could accommodate groups, a great launch pad for building a growing club membership.

Events: Include wine group events (Russian River Wine Road Barrel Tasting, Passport Weekend etc…), customer events (weddings, parties, corporate events), and third party events (such as cooking classes).

Large Capacity Production: Fulfill growing needs of subject winery (or additional labels), plus use capacity for much needed custom crush (services to other wine makers) within Dry Creek Valley.

Additional Facilities: This includes a separate center for conferences and larger events, and a space for outdoor activities (captured within the planning as an outdoor amphitheater)
