Innovative Urban Winery Franchise System Expands International Selection
Waters Edge Wineries®, an innovative urban winery system bringing the cultural experience of wine to communities across the country, today announced it is expanding its international wine selection through two new partnerships. This spring, Waters Edge Wineries will begin rolling out an elite collection of wines from one of the most well-known wine regions in the world, Tuscany, Italy. In addition, in 2023, the franchise will introduce a rare collection of wines from Armenia.
“Partnering with family-owned wineries from across the globe to import their outstanding wines will create another opportunity for our guests to learn more about viticulture and the winemaking process,” said Ken Lineberger, president and founder of Waters Edge Wineries. “In the past, we’ve sourced grapes internationally to make our unique wines in-house, which we will, of course, continue to do, but through these new connections we can now also offer a selection of unique wines made in other parts of the world.”
The first new wines to be introduced will be from the renowned Baracchi Vineyard in Tuscany, Italy. Available now at select Waters Edge Wineries locations, these wines will be imported into the U.S. and sold alongside in-house wine selection. Dating back to 1860, the Baracchi Vineyard, located in the rolling hills of the Valdichiana, has been producing wine for five generations. The wines produced at the Baracchi Vineyard are an evolution of an ancient family tradition.
