Cedars Edge Winery LLC | Application Preview

 

Cedars Edge Winery LLC is seeking funding to support the construction of a new winery, which will help offset the costs associated with infrastructure like well, septic, and power installations. The winery's business plan focuses on retail operations for the first three years while grape vines mature. Initially, the winery will offer a product line of wines bottled and labeled by a third party, including Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Grigio. Additionally, boutique wines sourced from distributors will be available for sale, along with winery-branded merchandise and high-end local crafts. The vineyard's grapes are expected to be ready for harvest in two years, with a year of aging for the wines.

The funding is justified by the unique wine tasting experience that Cedars Edge Winery will provide. The business, inspired by the owners' extensive travels and love of wine culture, aims to blend this passion with the appeal of the Wisconsin Northwoods. The winery's location near an apple orchard and an adventure outfitter taps into the area's appeal to outdoor tourists engaged in activities like fishing and boating.

In terms of competition, there are no other wineries within a 45-mile radius of Niagara, WI. Wisconsin wineries have seen notable growth recently, with increased sales and visitation. Cedars Edge Winery plans to capitalize on this momentum by offering unique events and activities in its tasting room, such as private parties and monthly themed gatherings, enhancing its attractiveness to both local and visiting customers.

  • Self Identified Competition

    Currently, there are no other wineries within 45 miles of Niagara, WI. Wisconsin wineries have made considerable progress in the last decade or so when measured by several indicators: winning national wine competitions; growth in sales of ten percent or more annually, and increased winery visitation by both local wine consumers as well as out-of-state and Canadian tourists. The state’s small wineries are locked primarily into direct market sales at the wineries. The development of varietal wines made from varieties that have been shown to be adaptable to Wisconsin State’s climate and soil conditions are a real boon to the Wisconsin industry. . The Winery will open up the tasting room for private events such as birthday, anniversary, bachelorette parties, etc. The exterior lawn will provide enough area to erect tents for larger events. Monthly events at the Winery will partner wine tasting with activities such as art, bocce ball tournaments, educational opportunities. Annual planned at the events include Summer Kick-Off Celebration, Fall Festival, Holiday Open House, Valentine’s Candle Light Walk.
