The Opportunity When it comes to winemaking, the United States is at the forefront of the conversation. The U.S. wine industry is a $107 billion market (Statista), making it the largest wine market in the world. Amongst the best vineyards in the world are located in the country. “Most U.S. wineries are clustered in just six states, but Waters Edge Wineries is changing that—bringing the winery experience to communities across the country through a scalable urban winery franchise model.” Our Proven Model You don’t need a vineyard to own a winery with us. We import top-quality grape juice (called grape must) from famous regions like California, France, Italy and many others. Each franchise then crafts, bottles, and serves wine produced on-site, in welcoming tasting rooms of about 4,000–5,000 sq ft. Guests love being part of the experience — they can even create their own custom labels for their bottles.
