How Our Wineries Work

Support & Training
The Waters Edge team provides complete support from site location and lease negotiation to grand opening. We partner with a nationwide construction firm who will design your location and solicit bids from local, reputable contractors. Our construction firm will oversee the buildout to ensure that it is done on time and on budget.
We have made the art of winemaking into a simple four-step process anyone can learn. We are experts at helping you market the wine to your local community by focusing on generating revenue from five different categories. Your winery location will be unique in your community. No similar model exists that combines all five of these categories to help you stand out from any competition.
Your wines will be crafted using our tried & true recipes that produce consistently high-quality vino. We provide all the necessary equipment your location will require to make wine efficiently as well as operate a low-overhead kitchen for the bistro. Waters Edge offers our franchisees a monthly newsletter to keep you up to date on developments and techniques to help your winery grow. You are invited to join a monthly conference call to share ideas and promote growth. We also host a biennial franchise meeting to gather and learn together.
Available States
Both our Waters Edge Winery® or our Affiliate programs are available in most states. In each model, we retain all of the features of our franchise model; however, we will allow our Affiliates to use their own approved name for their winery.
The most significant difference is that our Affiliates will be responsible for their own winery’s advertising and marketing in their local areas. Note that as of April 1, 2019 all future locations will be branded as a Waters Edge Winery. We no longer offer the Affiliate option.
