The Linebergers pioneered the winery franchise concept with the launch of their business in 2004, introducing a revolutionary concept that allows entrepreneurs to own a functioning winery without owning a vineyard. Waters Edge Wineries purchases high-quality grape must (crushed grapes) from vineyards around the world. Wines are carefully crafted and bottled at individual locations. Today, each winery produces more than 50 different types of wine, including Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, among others, using grapes grown in California, Italy, France, New Zealand, Chile and Germany. Specialty blends are also created on-site, as are custom vintages.
