room, retail market and gift shop, warehouse and barrel room, interior
banquet area, exterior park-like entertainment area and the vineyard.

voted the Best Winery in North Los Angeles County!
Established in 1999 at the current location and including 4 parcels, the
winery has a robust wine club membership with quarterly releases and
hosts a seasonal farmer's market May through November on Saturdays.
The 3 acre vineyard is planted with Sangiovese, Merlot and Zinfandel. The
current winemaker works out of the lab on site and is open to consulting
with the new owners. With the option of creating your own label, the
owners use a state of the art bottling truck which bottles and labels the
wine. The owners augment their own grapes with those purchased
elsewhere to provide numerous varietals for sale. Second floor office suite
provides gift wrap and storage space. 2 ADA compliant bathrooms on
property can serve a dressing rooms for a bridle party and with several
different areas for events, the winery operates successfully year-round for
all sorts of events. There is ample parking on site.
As in other wine producing regions such as Napa, this vineyard and the
surrounding other wine growers of the valley are part of a federally
approved AVA, The Antelope Valley of the California High Desert. Freshly
painted, the warehouse and tasting room/retail store have multiple revenue
sources. The AV Winery hosts numerous events both inside and out. The
gorgeous exterior entertaining area with gazebo and shade trees is the
place to be married, celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, and reunite
with friends and family. Qualified to host the weekly Farmer's Market, the
winery provides permitted vendors and certified growers to sell their
wares. Vigorously attended, the community recognizes the winery as a
reliable source by providing fresh produce for sale from local farmers.
The potential for expansion is endless. The property, buildings, stock in
trade and equipment are included in the sale. With city approval, one
might consider the addition of a brewery or deli counter. Included the
tasting room is a deli case, soda/water refrigerator, and commercial
upright reach-in freezer. In the warehouse there is an 88 sqft walk-in
freezer, stainless steel jacketed cold fermentation tanks, storage tanks, as
well as plastic open-top fermenters. The wine making equipment and
machinery included is extensive. For 25 years the winery has been a retail
purveyor of several kinds of wild game and exotic meat. The sellers make
gift baskets and cheese plates for sale to enjoy with their wine out on the
picnic tables in the grassy yard. The winery truly has something for
everyone. As the city of Lancaster grows, the need for a community
gathering spot continues to grow with it and makes this location with its
existing revenue streams an ideal opportunity for the savvy investor.
