Vintage Wine Trust’s management has many years of experience in the wine and grape industry. We work with vineyard and winery owners to structure 100% sale-leaseback financing to accomplish their specific business, and corporate or family objectives.

• Our process begins with a confidential discussion about objectives.
• The next step is VWT’s review of assets and their net operating income in light of current and projected market conditions.
• Then, VWT together with potential deal-partners develop a sale and lease structure that accomplishes their objectives.
• Within the structure of VWT’s lease, each transaction is hand tailored to accomplish specific seller-lessee objectives.

VWT’s 100% sale-leaseback financing enables wine companies and independent grape growers to access capital locked up in vineyard and processing facilities, while retaining operating control for investment in higher yielding activities and expansion. Leases can be structured to achieve off-balance-sheet accounting, deferral of tax on appreciated property or to include repurchase options.
