February 10th – PLACERVILLE, CA: All grape growers, vintners, wineries and interested parties are invited to join us on Wednesday, February 17, at 6:30pm, for a Zoom discussion on Understanding Vineyard, Winery, Farm and Ranch Valuation and the State of the Market with our special guest speaker David Bolster. Bolster provides valuable insight due to his extensive background, knowledge and lifelong experience in the agricultural industry combined with nearly 20 years of real estate experience.
About this topic: Understanding and negotiating the path of multiple, complex variables is critical in making informed and appropriate decisions regarding buying, selling or investing in improving agricultural properties. These variables include: location, site suitability, regulatory and land use issues, market and industry trends, market potential, and business modeling.
Discussion topics include: current state of the market; factors that drive value (location, structural improvements, vineyard characteristics, net income, and grape market); appraisers; recent winery market activity; and, who are the buyers: lifestyle or commercial. Bolster will also touch upon future and new investment in El Dorado and Amador counties.
There is no cost to participate but registration is required to get the Zoom meeting login.
