            <title>Hawke's Bay Vineyard Property For Sale - Puketapu, NZ</title>
            <link>http://www.vinesmart.com/wine-real-estate-properties-businesses-opportunities-for-sale-lease/item/377</link>
            <description>Located just 4km from the township of Taradale is this delightful property with 19 hectares (47 acres) planted in vines and the balance of approximately 15.6 hectares where vines have been removed and the growing structures are in place.

Plantings include 8.8ha Pinot Gris, 4.6ha Chardonnay, 3.3ha Sauvignon Blanc, 1.13ha Viognier, 1.1ha Merlot, 0.06ha Syrah and 0.05ha Malbec.

All the production plantings have dripper irrigation installed which is take from a 250mm bore and there are three further 150mm bores on the property available for the further development of the property.  These bores were previously utilised with travelling irrigators.

The soils are predominantly the very free-draining Esk Sands.

For frost protection there are three strategically placed motorised, wind machines which are available for purchase with the extensive range of vineyard plant and machinery.  Purchasing the plant and machinery would ensure that the vineyard was fully operational from day one.

Production forecasts for the current vintage are in excess of 127 tonnes.

The majority of the pruning has already been completed.

There are no current supply agreements in place.

Under the current Hastings District Council District Plan the property can be subdivided into three Certificates of Title.

On an adjoining property there is purpose built shedding for the vineyard which could be leased on a long term basis.

The vineyard is currently managed by the 2008 “Hawke’s Bay Young Viticulturalist of the Year” whom would be very interested in continuing his association with the property.</description>

            <title>Santa Barbara Estate Winery - Motivated Seller</title>
            <link>http://www.vinesmart.com/wine-real-estate-properties-businesses-opportunities-for-sale-lease/item/376</link>
            <description>This is an opportunity to acquire a state-of-the-art Pinot Noir winery. This winery has developed an innovative approach to selling its wines directly to the consumer. This has allowed it to become the premier winery in its area. It leverages the estate’s event capabilities to cross-market its wine club and tasting room. It has crafted its reputation by hosting some of the area’s finest events. Though its focus is on developing direct sales, it has also established a successful presence in many of California’s high-end restaurants.
	
Started in 2001 this estate winery currently sells around 3,000 cases per year. The estate vineyards have a capacity of 7,000 cases, while the winery is permitted for 25,000 cases as well as the creation of an additional event center including underground caves. There is also an option to acquire an additional 30 acres for planting and up the capacity to 12-13,000 cases of estate wines.

Due to a change in their personal situation the owners are no longer in the position to fully capitalize on this growth opportunity. Hence, they have decided to sell their operation.

The ideal acquirer is a buyer wishing to enter the high-end wine market or enhance a portfolio of ultra-premium wine brands with a Pinot Noir offering and/or a Santa Barbara County presence. If started from scratch, it would take a significant investment and 7 to 10 years to replicate this opportunity.

Key Features:

•	Pinot Noir Estate Winery &amp; Vineyards - This 53+ acres estate is fully planted: half in Pinot Noir, the other half in Chardonnay, Syrah and a few other minor varietals.
•	Ultra-Premium Wines -The winery produces ultra-premium and luxury wines retailing between $18 and $35 per bottle with a few limited series selling for as high as $75. The wines have collected an impressive list of awards, accolades and media publicity.
•	Award-winning Tasting Room – Tasting room with a unique concept.
•	Unique Event Center - Multiple venues “in the vineyards” to organize weddings, corporate events, non-profit fund-raisers, concerts, parties or other events. Full catering capabilities.
•	Wine Club: Vibrant club with 700 members, loyalty built through exclusive events at the estate.
•	Prime Location - The winery is part of a major wine trail and conveniently located only a few miles away from a major highway. Perfect micro-climate for cool climate Pinot Noir.
•	Growing Business - Sales tripled over the past 3 years and earnings nearly doubled in 2008 vs. 2007.</description>

            <link>http://www.vinesmart.com/wine-real-estate-properties-businesses-opportunities-for-sale-lease/item/368</link>
            <description>Located in the Willamette Valley AVA, this unique property has had extensive site review and architectural drawings for a state of the art processing and hospitality center, which would include a bed and breakfast, equestrian center, ampitheatre, an executive golf course, processing facility, restaurant and more. To the right investor, there would be no rival in the Willamette Valley for an estate of this magnitude.

All of the preliminary work has been done, it now just needs to have your dreams put on paper and take it to the next level.  Ambitious goals, but attainable. With views of the Three Sisters, Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt Ranier all from the top of the property, there is absolutely no other property which compares.  Excellent soil profiles, a southeast aspect and perfect elevations, all add up to ripe fruit, concentrated and fruit driven wines even in a cool climate year!</description>
