Upgrade TWC to a Wine Bar
Donation protected
I am Sharon Sands owner and operator of Tigard Wine Crafters located in Downtown Tigard.
I have lived in Tigard 20 years and 5 years ago found myself unemployed. While searching for a job I was introduced to the concept of making your own wine, and wanted to bring it to the Oregon market. As most of you know in 2010, banks were not giving loans readily, so I got a personal loan from a friend. Only to receive 50% of the amount I needed to make this work efficiently. So we went for it, doing all the work ourselves and opened Oct 1, 2010.
Fast forward to 2015, we have been going strong, but have not been able to do the small things we wanted to do in 2010. Since the renovation of Main St in 2014, it is easier for people to come to downtown and shop, now we need to upgrade to keep up with the wine industry and become Tigard's 1st Wine Bar, with the option to make your own wine. This is where you come in, with your help, we can add a Tap system and upgrade our gift shop, so that we can become the 'go to" Wine shop in Tigard. You can help us turn a small idea into a reality! We want to offer a place to go have that romantic glass of wine or host Private Events (Wedding party, Birthday's, girls night out).
Thank you for your donation!
