An uncommon opportunity in a lovely corner of the world.
Have you ever dreamed of escaping the hustle and bustle of the big city? Maybe your brewery is looking to expand into new territories. Today, I share an uncommon opportunity: the chance to take over a turnkey brewery and taproom in the beautiful, rural community of Goldendale, Washington. If you’ve dreamed of such a retreat, know you are not alone. This is a Field of Dreams opportunity: “If you build it, they will come.” The thing is, this place is already built.
The former home of Dwinell Country Ales is now for sale. Beer aficionados are familiar with Dwinell, the award-winning brewery and beverage producer. Late last year, the company announced that it was closing. Though the brewery owners are not involved directly in the sale, the property is now on the market as a turnkey operation.
Situated in the heart of downtown Goldendale, this is actually more than a brewery and taproom. Since opening in 2017, Dwinell and its location evolved into a multi-beverage operation. It is now licensed as a brewery, winery, and distillery, suitable for the production of all kinds of beer, wine, cider, and other adult beverages. It is designed for both efficiency and customer experience. The property’s spacious tasting room, production space, and outdoor patio create a warm and inviting atmosphere for patrons while providing ample room for future expansion.
Goldendale is about 30 minutes from The Dalles, 50 minutes from Hood River, and about an hour from Yakima. It is located along Highway 97, on the primary route between Portland and Yakima and beyond.
