ine Industry Network Expands Services to Include Real Estate Advisory for Wineries and Vineyards
George Christie, President and CEO of Wine Industry Network (WIN), is leading the expansion of WIN's services to include real estate advisory for winery and vineyard properties. This move comes in response to growing demand from industry professionals seeking guidance on acquisitions, sales, and succession planning.
Christie, a wine industry veteran with over 30 years of experience, recently obtained his real estate license to meet this increasing need. "As WIN's President and CEO, I've seen a significant increase in requests for real estate expertise," said Christie. "I realized that if we're going to provide the same level of support as we do in other areas, I needed to be licensed."
Christie will conduct his real estate work in affiliation with Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty, leveraging their global reputation and luxury expertise. This partnership allows him to offer clients personalized, on-the-ground support through high-stakes transitions.
"I'm not a real estate agent stepping into the wine industry," Christie emphasized. "I'm a wine industry professional expanding my services." He remains committed to WIN's mission of supporting industry professionals at every level, while providing expert guidance on real estate matters.
Carole Sauers, Brokerage Manager at Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty, welcomed Christie to their team: "George brings an unmatched combination of wine industry knowledge and business insight. His unique perspective will be invaluable to our clients."
