Agriculture & wine businesses for sale
Wineries, vineyards, agriturismi, olive estates, dairy and specialised crops across Spain, Italy and Japan. Many with land, brand and decades of operating history.
Market context
Generational succession in agriculture is acute: in Spain over 40% of farm holders are above 65. Italian agriturismi and wineries face similar dynamics, and Japan's Noringyo Census shows under-40 successors below 8% of farm households. Land values are stable to rising; the operating business often sells near book.
Typical opportunities
Bodegas, family vineyards, agriturismi, olive groves, dairy farms, organic producers. Often combine operating business + significant real estate.
Who acquires here
Family offices, lifestyle buyers, wine groups, estate investors. Many transactions are partly motivated by lifestyle relocation, partly by real estate appreciation.

From shortlist to closing
- 01Source & shortlist
Filter live deals by country, ticket size and operator profile. We surface the public listing plus a structured memo with the seller's public footprint, registry filings and press history.
- 02Initial outreach (NDA + LOI)
Most listings here are broker-mediated. After NDA, expect a teaser, then a CIM with audited accounts. A non-binding LOI follows once you confirm fit on price, financing and transition.
- 03Due diligence
Financial, tax, legal, commercial and operational DD over 6–10 weeks. For succession deals, retention of the founder for 6–24 months post-close is standard and often a deal-breaker if missing.
- 04SPA & closing
Local notary in ES/IT, judicial scrivener in JP. Expect earn-outs or vendor financing on 30–50% of succession deals where the seller wants tax deferral or a clean transition.
What to verify before you sign
Vine replanting is a 3–5-year revenue gap. Audit vineyard age by parcel before pricing the brand.
Appellation rules (DOCa Rioja, DOCG Barolo, etc.) restrict yield, grape and process. Past infractions affect future allocation.
Aged wine inventory can be stated at cost or fair value — material impact on tangible book and price.
Buying a agriculture & wine business
- How are these agriculture & wine businesses sourced?
- We aggregate listings from official SMB marketplaces in Spain (Bizalia, Negocius, Idealista), Italy (Cherry Acquisition, Bakeca Aziende) and Japan (Tranbi, Batonz, Smergers). Every result links back to the original public listing — we don't re-list, we surface.
- Are asking price and revenue available for every listing?
- When the source publishes them, yes — we extract asking price, revenue and EBITDA into the card. Many succession deals are listed without financials by design; for those we generate an investor memo on demand using the public footprint.
- Can I get alerted when new agriculture & wine deals appear?
- Yes. Members get weekly off-market alerts filtered to this category and country. The cache refreshes weekly across all sources.
- Do I need to be in Spain, Italy or Japan to acquire one of these businesses?
- No. Cross-border SMB acquisitions are well-established across all three countries. Spain and Italy welcome EU and non-EU buyers with no restrictions on share purchases. Japan allows 100% foreign ownership of SMBs; the practical bottleneck is local advisors and language, both of which we can introduce members to.
- What's the typical timeline from finding a agriculture & wine deal to closing?
- Three to nine months is normal for an off-market succession deal. Listings on official marketplaces tend to move faster (60–120 days) because the seller has already engaged a broker and prepared a teaser. Distressed and court-driven sales follow a fixed calendar set by the auction or insolvency procedure.
