Founded in 2004 by Ken and Angela Lineberger, Waters Edge Wineries is a groundbreaking franchise concept that brings the traditional winery atmosphere into the heart of local communities.
Based in Rancho Cucamonga, California, the brand started franchising in 2012, offering entrepreneurs the chance to operate fully equipped wineries without owning a vineyard.
Rather than cultivating their own grapes, Waters Edge Wineries partners with an international network of top vineyards to source premium crushed grapes. This innovative method allows each location to produce a wide range of wines on-site, from popular favorites like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay to distinctive options such as Barolo and Gewürztraminer.
The micro-winery business model not only lowers the financial barriers typically associated with winemaking but also makes the winery experience more accessible in urban environments, expanding the appeal of wine culture to a broader audience.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.

Waters Edge Wineries provides several types of training programs to its franchisees to prepare them for successful operations:
Waters Edge Wineries offers its franchisees a Designated Area but does not grant an exclusive territory. Franchisees are granted the right to operate a single Waters Edge Winery & Bistro at a specific location described in their Franchise Agreement, and within this Designated Area, the franchisor agrees not to establish or allow another Waters Edge Winery & Bistro to open.
However, the Designated Area does not cover Special Sites like casinos, airports, malls, and tourist venues, where the franchisor retains the right to operate or grant licenses freely.
Despite this limited protection, Waters Edge Wineries reserves broad rights to compete with the franchisee even within the Designated Area. The franchisor may sell products under the Waters Edge brand or other brands through different channels such as the internet, catalog sales, or telemarketing without compensating the franchisee.
