Grape cultivation and winemaking are long-term, high-potential investments. With the right approach, the profitability of this business can reach up to 100%.
Currently, over 400 licensed entities in Ukraine hold permits for the production and sale of still and sparkling wines — yet only about half are actively operating. Given Ukraine’s favorable climate, the sector holds strong potential for development across the country.
Starting a winemaking business from scratch can take several months. Acquiring land, production facilities, and equipment requires significant time and effort.
To start generating revenue as quickly as possible, it’s more efficient to buy an operational winery with established technology and processes.

For sellers of wineries and vineyards, we provide assistance in finding qualified buyers and preparing the business for transfer of ownership.
A wine production facility in Ukraine can be purchased with or without an adjoining vineyard.
Buying a winery together with a vineyard offers greater security in terms of raw material supply, but requires higher investment.
Purchasing a winery without a vineyard means that you will need to establish agreements with farmers for the purchase of grapes or buy bulk wine materials (wine must) from third-party suppliers.
It’s important to note that wine in Ukraine is produced not only from grapes but also from apples, pears, cherries, and various other fruits and berries.
The largest concentration of wineries in Ukraine is located in regions with the most favorable conditions for grape cultivation:
Odesa, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Zakarpattia.
In addition, active wine production facilities are also found in the Kyiv, Lviv, and Chernihiv regions.
The journey from idea to launching and selling your first batch of wine can take up to 5 years. A beginning winemaker needs to select the right soil with proper sun exposure, purchase seedlings, and build and launch production — a process that requires significant time and capital, with delayed returns.
An alternative approach is to buy an established vineyard along with existing production facilities.
If you’ve decided to buy a vineyard in Ukraine, here are the key factors to consider:
The southern regions of Ukraine and Zakarpattia (Transcarpathia) are best suited for viticulture.
Ideally, the vineyard should be located near a winery.
A vineyard-winery combination is a ready-made tourism asset and can generate additional income through wine tours, tastings, and events.
When evaluating options, pay attention to popular tourist routes.
Vineyard sizes typically range from 7–8 hectares to 17–20 hectares, depending on the scale of production.
Understand the difference between table grapes and wine grapes.
Other key factors include:the number, age, and condition of the vines and the expected yield per hectare.
The land may be either privately owned or leased by the seller.
If the land is leased, it’s important to review:the duration of the lease and other key terms and conditions of land use
An operational vineyard should have:
If the vineyard is located far from a populated area, consider the need for housing for agricultural workers.
Beyond equipment and facilities, a serious buyer should also evaluate the following:
Many Ukrainian wineries also function as wine tourism destinations. Consider:
