Buying a Vineyard as a Syndicate

Sharing the cost of vineyard ownership can be an alluring option for investors, say Virtuoso Property Group

What to look for in a Syndicate

- Selection of vineyard: Terroir, vines and quality of wines.

- Sound business plan: Production, marketing and sale of wines.

- Founders’ and Management team’s motivation and alignment of incentives with the Syndicate members’ objectives.

- Compatibility with other members and management team.

- Appreciation of risks in the business which is essentially an agricultural business: climate, hail, frost.

- Price volatility of vineyard and wines.

- Illiquid nature of the investment, unless the founders provide a mechanism for secondary liquidity.
