Buying and Selling a Craft Beverage Business

With all the permitting, licensing, inspections, and fundraising required, building a brewery, winery, cidery, or distillery from the ground up can feel like an impossible task. Meanwhile, founders in the alcohol industry often struggle with the process of exiting the business they've invested so much time, energy, and money.

In this webinar, Virginia SBDC Craft Beverage Assistance Manager Chris Van Orden will ask Janine Aquino, Senior Consultant & Licensed Real Estate Agent at Aquino Baron Consulting, about how to create ownership transitions that benefit all parties.

Speaker: Janine Aquino is a business consultant and entrepreneur with 30 years of experience in the craft beverage industry. Raised on a vineyard in the Hudson Valley by a family of wine importers, Janine is the fourth generation to work in the beverage industry. With her experience at the helm of multiple wineries, Janine has deep expertise across a range of topics, including start-up management, ROI analysis, and market strategy, to name a few. Today, Janine serves craft beverage producers in Virginia and beyond through her firm, Aquino Baron Consulting.
