Lending

Bacchus Capital Management provides strategic capital with flexible financing and deep industry expertise for the wine industry. The target allocation of the fund is 70% debt investments and 30% private equity.

Bacchus financing enables wineries to borrow beyond the traditional bank-based asset formulas tied to inventory and receivables. Additionally, Bacchus provides borrowers with the principals' extensive wine industry knowledge and long-standing distribution relationships. Our target portfolio companies are profitable U.S. wineries and wine-related businesses which demonstrate significant growth potential. Bacchus targets businesses generally, but not exclusively, in the super and ultra premium end of the wine industry which are privately or family held and are seeking sales and/or infrastructure growth or need to manage ownership transitions.
