Aquilini Investment Group $7M Acquisition of 700-Acre VineyardWe represented Aquilini Investment Group in its $7M acquisition of roughly 700 acres of vineyard property in Klickitat County, Washington, and handled follow-on litigation over water rights to the property. At the time of the purchase, roughly 335 acres were planted in wine grapes and there was an ongoing lawsuit with an adjoining property owner over water rights to the vineyards and whether the water rights allowed for the development of an additional 150 acres of vineyards. We handled the litigation, and ultimately prevailed. The resulting court judgment confirmed the property’s waters rights to the existing vineyards and allowed the planting of an additional 150 acres of vineyards. |
