The Waters Edge Winery® is a franchise-based winery concept that allows you to own a winery without the cost, risk and uncertainty of a vineyard. This winery concept combines winemaking and the winery experience with the accessibility of the wine bar model. Franchisees have the option of purchasing finished wine produced at our central production facility while making smaller amounts of wine in their winery location (hub-and-spoke model), or they can have a complete production room inside their winery to produce most of the inventory they would sell, while only relying on the central production facility for additional inventory or specialty wines only produced there. We produce and cellar most red wines at our central production facility. The hub-and-spoke model minimizes the labor and time that our franchisees spend making the wine they sell by the bottle or by the glass.

A Waters Edge Winery® franchise allows you to be in business for yourself, but never by yourself. With a full-time staff ready to assist our franchisees with anything from winemaking questions, to marketing and social media, to handling paperwork, forms, applications and spread-sheets, you get to spend more time doing what our franchisees love to do: Run the winery and mingle with guests.

Currently most of our location are opened in California, however we do have locations in Oklahoma, Denver and one in Scottsdale, AZ in 2015. It is our goal with your help to have a Waters Edge Winery open in every available state in the US.
