From their website:
We offer several wines that can only be found at our winery locations. Many people have never discovered a wine they really enjoy, so we created a lineup of wines that are easy to drink for the novice consumer and introduce them to the pleasure of wine. Some examples of these wines include a Blackberry Merlot, Cranberry Chianti and Green Apple Gewurztraminer. Our newest additions include cocktails that are based on wine, but taste just like the real thing. Some specialty creations are a Cosmopolitan, Long Island Ice Tea and even a Lemon-lime Margarita!
In addition to wine sales by the bottle and glass, a Waters Edge Winery also offers the following:
Bistro-style appetizers and desserts
A light menu which includes tapas, Panini-style sandwiches, artisan cheeses and fruits, as well as a selection of sweet treats complimentary to the wine.
Custom labeling
Guests will be able to choose from a variety of designs to create their own wine label for gifts, weddings, corporate sponsorships or private labeling.
Bottling experience
Guests may create their own vintage of wine and have a bottling party at the winery. This starts with guests choosing one of the wines on our menu. We present their custom crush in a small batch format where they sprinkle the yeast one top of the must. Guests return a couple months later to have a bottling party. They bottle, cork and custom label their wine, often bringing groups of friends to enjoy the fun. It’s a unique and unforgettable experience!
Wine ClubWaters Edge Wineries
Guests may join a wine club that offers unique benefits such as a selected bottle of wine, complimentary tasting, discounts and special events. This creates a recurring monthly revenue stream for the Water’s Edge Winery as well as loyal guests. In the traditional wine club model, the winery ships the wine quarterly to its customers. This limits direct interaction with the winery and the opportunity for additional sales. At the Waters Edge Winery, most guests come to the winery monthly to pick up their bottles – increasing traffic and visitation patterns.
Private Parties and Events
Locations will often be designed to allow private events to occur simultaneously during regular operating hours to eliminate any conflict. Private tasting areas and seating areas can be segregated from the main tasting room to accommodate receptions, birthdays, and anniversaries as well as attracting corporations looking for a venue to host company-sponsored events in a convenient, classy location tailored to their needs.
