Slightly Askew Winery 913 N Bridge St 1,504 SF Vacant Retail Building Elkin, NC 28621 $880,525 CAD ($585.46 CAD/SF)

Exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully operational, turnkey boutique winery, tasting room, and real estate located in the heart of Elkin, North Carolina within the highly sought-after Yadkin Valley AVA. This offering includes the real estate, established business operations, FF&E, and substantial sale-ready inventory, providing immediate continuity and revenue potential from day one. The property consists of approximately 1,500 square feet designed for efficient tasting room operations, retail sales, and small events, and features an 348± SF covered deck that can be enclosed and conditioned for year-round use, along with an additional outdoor concrete patio ideal for expanded seating, live music, and events. An unfinished attic offers additional space for potential expansion. Positioned on N Bridge Street, the property benefits from excellent visibility, strong frontage, and consistent traffic from both local patrons and destination tourism throughout the Yadkin Valley wine region. The offering is structured at $220,000 for the real estate, $300,000 for the winery business and FF&E, and $120,000 for inventory, including wine and retail goods.
The existing business operates using a bulk wine purchasing (shiner) model, with wines branded under the Slightly Askew label, while also allowing the option for in-house production. This structure provides a significant operational advantage by enabling sourcing of juices locally or from established wine regions without the need for vineyard ownership, eliminating farming responsibilities, crop risk, harvest cycles, and seasonal production delays. As a result, the operation functions more like a retail and hospitality business, allowing the owner to focus on sales, branding, and customer experience while reducing overall complexity and risk. Unlike many winery startups, this offering includes substantial sale-ready inventory, allowing for immediate revenue generation with no delay from production cycles, a built-in product pipeline for continued sales, and reduced need for upfront working capital, positioning a new owner to focus on growth and marketing from day one.
Located within the Yadkin Valley AVA, the property is surrounded by wineries, breweries, and established tourism drivers in one of the highest concentrations of wineries in the Southeast, including more than 17 wineries along the Surry County Wine Trail. The area benefits from strong regional and destination-driven traffic, with visitors typically traveling to experience multiple wineries in a single trip. The property is conveniently located approximately 45 minutes from Winston-Salem and about one hour from both Charlotte and Greensboro, and is in close proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Stone Mountain State Park, and Pilot Mountain, further enhancing its appeal as a destination-oriented investment.
