Guess Which Celeb Will Buy Agua Dulce Winery

Notorious wine loving celebrities like Pink, Courtney Cox and Jay Z can now join the ranks of Sting and Dave Matthews in owning their own vineyards, winemaking facilities and established labels, as they can now buy Agua Dulce Winery, Southern California’s most prominent wine producer. Hilton & Hyland and Christie’s International Real Estate are listing the property at $23.5 million.
The Agua Dulce winery, about a 45 minute drive from Los Angeles, is a turnkey “vine-to-wine” business, with all equipment and inventory included in the purchase price. The 100-acre vineyard grows six grape varietals used in their exclusive Chardonnays, Cabernet Sauvignons, Syrahs, Sangioveses, Zinfandels, and Merlots, as well as a fine port.

In case the buyer wants to spend some quality time among the vines, there’s a 5,000 square foot, five-bedroom, 4.5 bath residence that can serve as a second home, guest house, or as a venue for events, receptions, and other functions. There’s a variety of outbuildings and guest residences on the grounds, and facilities for horses, etc. And wouldn’t you know the property is located adjacent to an airport that accommodates small planes, private jets, and helicopters?
The commercial part of the self-sustaining property includes a wine-tasting room, retail shop, plus state-of-the art winemaking and bottling facilities. Of course there’s also ample visitor parking.

But wait. There’s more! In addition to the working winemaking enterprise and the residence in Agua Dulce, the buyer also gets a wine tasting room in Santa Barbara’s popular Funk Zone, in the Santa Barbara Harbor tourist district. A winery of your very own and a footprint in Santa Barbara? How could the well-healed celebrity resist?
According to listing agent Marcie Hartley, “This property is one of the L.A. area’s best-kept secrets. It’s a fully operational winery, vineyard, and residence located in the rustic Sierra Pelona Valley. It was founded in 1999, had its first release in 2001, and it’s also the largest winery in Los Angeles County.” If you’d like to give Pink or Jay Z a run for their money and buy Agua Dulce Winery, go to AguaDulceWinery.com for more details.
