East-Anglian vineyard, Giffords Hall, has turned to crowdfunding website crowd2fund.com to raise capital. It is seeking £58,000 in return for a 5% equity share.
Potential investors are also offered a range of incentives, including lifetime discounts of up to 45% and regular presentation boxes of wine.
The company is currently valued at £1.1m. It plans to grow that value to £1.5m by 2018 - representing a return on investment of some 36%.
Giffords Hall is targeting either a trade sale or an AIM listing to enable shareholders to realise their investments.

The company currently distributes 20,000 bottles each year. It will use the money raised through crowd2fund to expand its distribution - initially to 30,000 but with the aim of increasing that to 60,000 in the medium term.
The vineyard was established in 1990 in the Upper Stour Valley. Husband-and-wife team Linda and Guy Howard took over in 2004, and the business was incorporated in 2012.
Giffords Hall wine has won awards at both the National English & Welsh Wine Awards and the International Wine Challenge.
Sales have been increasing by 300% year on year for several years. Exports to Asia and Europe accounted for 20% of sales in 2014. UK distributors include Waitrose and Jeroboams.
Linda Howard said: "We turned to crowdfunding because we really wanted to give our very loyal customers the opportunity not only to own a stake in the company, but also to benefit from receiving a discount on our wines."
