Waters Edge Wineries Franchise

Winery and light menu

AAPL Price Today by TradingView
In 2012, Waters Edge Wineries was created to focus on a single brand name. Our philosophy is focused on helping people learn about the amazing world of wine and remove the barriers that keep people from enjoying wine on a regular basis. Our franchise helps people start up complete wineries in a retail space that ranges from 2, 500 - 4, 000 square feet. Think of it as a "micro-winery.-- The difference between a Waters Edge Winery and a traditional winery is that we do not grow or crush the grapes - we outsource those functions to a global network of vineyards and growers. This lowers the cost of ownership, and removes the biggest risk associated with most wineries. Actual wine production is done onsite. A Waters Edge Winery® makes several wines that are exclusive to our winery locations. We make many of the popular varietals, including Merlots, Cabs and Chardonnays. We also make some harder-to-find wines such as Barolos, Gewurztraminers, Pinotages, Petit Verdot and Ports. We source grapes globally that will allow you to make over 50 different kinds of wine using grapes from the best grape growing regions in the world. Places such as California, Italy, France, New Zealand, Chile and Germany. We also offer a lineup of wines that are found nowhere else and add to the spectrum of tastes for our guests. These include fun wines such as our popular Peach Apricot Chardonnay and Cranberry Malbec. These wines are easy for nearly everyone to enjoy - low in alcohol and slightly off-dry. We believe that wine is meant to go with food. And our guests will linger in our wineries longer if they have food readily available. Waters Edge has a partnership with Boar s Head Brands to offer a light menu which includes tapas, Panini-style sandwiches, flatbread pizzas, artisan cheeses and fruits, as well as delicious desserts.
