Healdsburg Winery Secures Construction Financing

Gantry secured a $7.15-million construction-to-permanent loan for the build-to-suit development of dedicated facilities serving Auteur Wines, a California vintner-founded winery specializing in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The project will yield a production winery, tasting room and vineyard on 8.2 acres at 10520 Wohler Rd. in Healdsburg.

Principal Jeff Wilcox and associate Andrew Ferguson with Gantry’s San Francisco production office represented the borrower, a private real estate investor. The 20-year construction-to-permanent fixed-rate loan was provided by one of Gantry’s banking relationships and features an initial interest-only period transitioning to 18-year amortization.

Wilcox said, “For construction projects like Auteur’s with compelling relevancy and experienced sponsorship, funding is available from a range of lenders. As the winery’s reputation has grown, so has demand for its award-wining wines. The new facilities will maintain Auteur’s control over its inputs and provide a home for an experiential immersion in its wine offerings and production culture.”
