Winery & vineyard loans

How do I finance a winery, vineyard, or tasting-room property?

Winery and vineyard financing must separate and evaluate the real estate, agricultural or hospitality use, operating business, equipment, inventory, licensing, and seasonality before matching the transaction with a commercial, bridge, private, or SBA path.

Answers before an application

The questions investors ask before they move forward.

01

Is a winery financed like ordinary commercial real estate?

Not always. Land, vines, water, production space, tasting-room income, events, equipment, inventory, and alcohol licensing can create a special-purpose property and business underwriting process.

02

Can SBA finance a winery property?

Potentially, when the eligible operating business occupies the required portion of the property and the borrower, use of proceeds, project, and participating lender satisfy SBA requirements.

03

Can bridge financing help before permanent financing?

Potentially. Bridge capital may solve an acquisition, renovation, licensing, occupancy, or stabilization need while a qualifying long-term commercial or SBA exit is prepared.

04

What should I provide first?

Start with the property, acreage, purchase or payoff, requested loan, business financials, production and tasting-room revenue, equipment, improvements, licenses, water and agricultural details, experience, and exit plan.
