DRASTIC REDUCTION IN PRICE!!!

Event Planning in a Winery Venue. Event Bookings Up. Retail Bottle Sales Continue to Improve.

Licensed as a winery, the company specializes in corporate events, private parties and custom labeled wine. This 4 year old successful event planning business, in a Tuscan winery setting, is an excellent expansion business for caterers wanting private venues, event planners, wine groups or wine enthusiasts. Revenues come from venue events, custom bottling, and catering (hire licensed caterers).

It is an upscale, fully private venue for all corporate, philanthropy, and party events for up to 100 people with a minimum of 20. What sets it apart is the opportunity for people to actually purchase a small lot of wine, have it cellared, and then bottle, cork and custom label the wine to take home.

They have a part-time event planning staff who works with the host to manage all the details from catering, live music, and wine label design.

They take the risk out of the wine making operation by buying the juice from whoever had a good year, fermenting, racking, filtering, bottling and custom labeling it. They have a 11,500 bottle inventory, 65% could be ready to drink, with an inventory value of $241,500. Inventory available at an additional cost of $25,000, not included in the business price.
