Brandeberry Winery

What Brandeberry Winery does

Brandeberry Winery is a privately held, small-batch artisan winery founded in 2009 by the late Jim Brandeberry, former Dean of Engineering at Wright State University. The winery operates from a 10-acre site in Enon, Ohio, between Dayton and Springfield, on hilly glacial moraine terrain near John Bryan State Park, Clifton Gorge, and Glen Helen Nature Preserve. The original on-site vineyard was destroyed by the 2014 Polar Vortex and is being replanted; in the interim, the winery sources grapes and fruit externally to produce its portfolio of handmade wines, which spans Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Merlot, Syrah, Bordeaux, Sangiovese, Vidal, Riesling, Aromella, Cayuga, Moscato, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay, alongside award-winning fruit wines (Blackberry and Black Dog) that have won Best Fruit Wine at the Ohio Wine Competition multiple times. All production uses traditional small-batch methods inherited from the founder.

The business operates a four-channel go-to-market: (1) on-site tasting room with weekly Saturday live music and food trucks, (2) an online wine store via Vinoshipper enabling DTC shipping to approximately 40 states, (3) local home delivery at $20 to 18 surrounding Dayton/Springfield communities, and (4) wholesale to regional retailers and restaurants. Revenue is generated through per-unit pricing on wine flights ($13), glasses ($5–$6.75), and slushies ($8.50), supplemented by venue rental at $125/hour for private events (with a minimum one-case wine purchase and 18% gratuity), on-site food sales, and a VIP text club loyalty program. Primary customers are Dayton/Springfield-area wine enthusiasts, event planners, and local retailers, with community engagement anchored by the annual Dogtoberfest fundraiser for Clark County SPCA. Leadership succession following the founder's passing has not been publicly disclosed, and there are no institutional investors, acquisitions, funding rounds, or AI/technology initiatives indicated in the source data.
