There is a lot going on at Travessia. Where to begin? Let me focus on the "big stuff"....
First, Travessia just signed a new 3-year lease for its current space in downtown New Bedford. No big surprised there… but the real "news" is that we are leasing more space. At the end of August we'll be expanding to the space next door that is currently occupied by an art gallery. This expansion will allow us to completely dedicate the current space to our winery production while the additional 600sf will be primarily used as our tasting and sales room. This brings increased financial responsibilities, capital investment and heighten risk. We feel confident that this is a logical step in our growth. This is only possible because we have been blessed with great patronage from our regular customers and wine club members... THANK YOU!
Second, we are now "live" at the Sandwich Farmers market. I mentioned in our most recent newsletter that we were in the process of obtaining a permit from the town of Sandwich, MA, to sell our wine at the town's Spring/Summer Farmers market. We obtained this permit in early May and as of June 1st, we have began our presence at the market. This is a huge deal for us, because for the first time ever we are able to sell our wine directly to consumers outside of our winery's physical facility. This took a long time to come to fruition and the work of many people. Special thanks to the Massachusetts Farm Winery & Growers Association, MDAR, Lisa Davis (market manager) and the Town of Sandwich. If you live on Cape Cod or plan on spending some time in the Sandwich area this Summer, please come visit us. Here are the details:
What: The Sandwich Bazaar Farmers Market
Where: #34 Quaker Meeting House Road, Sandwich, MA
When: Every Wednesday and Saturday from now until October 12th, 2011. 8AM to 1PM
Finally... throughout the month of June we'll be pouring our wines at very special events. Here's a complete list of our events: http://www.travessiawine.com/events.html Hope to see you at one of these!
