Who is Buying Napa Wineries?

We are often asked, “who are the buyers for Napa?”

We compiled a summary of a few of the many significant Napa Valley wine M& transactions in recent years. This list of 14* deals between 2019 to 2022 YTD suggests there are still several types of buyers attracted to the Napa Valley:

· Domestic Wine Industry Strategics (6)
· International Groups (5)
· Private Equity (2)
· Individual/Lifestyle (1)*

*Note this analysis excludes some smaller transactions (e.g. Grace Family, BRAND Napa Valley, etc.) that would have included more lifestyle buyers.

Stay tuned, we believe there are some very notable Napa Valley transactions yet to come in the near future.
