On this episode of Acquisitions Anonymous, Michael pitches Heather on buying a winery.
This listing is for San Martino Winery and Vineyards in LaVon, Texas, priced at $3.1 million, including real estate valued at $1.7 million. While the business has a strong social club aspect and positive Google reviews, it generates just $150,000 in annual cash flow. The ideal buyer would need a significant net worth and a passion for wine and hospitality, as this business prioritizes lifestyle over profits.
