Dearest friends, customers, & community,

It’s with a heavy heart that we share with you today that Community Wine Bar will be closing its doors at the end of April, with our last day falling on Sunday, April 27.

We are so grateful for all of the support we have received, the collaborations we’ve hosted with fellow Oregon vintners of marginalized identities and food vendors, and especially the tasting experiences we shared with you– our friends, customers, and community. It has been our pleasure to have been able to offer accessible ASL & Spanish translated tastings, guest winemaker and food pop-ups, and a variety of events over our time in business.

The reality of the situation is that it’s an incredibly tough time right now for food and beverage businesses in Portland - and beyond - and that industry variability, combined with our location in a quieter Portland neighborhood, has meant that the economic outlook for our business in the long term was simply not viable. We are grateful to have been able to work out an exit plan with our landlord that we can work with, and we are looking forward to seeing your smiling faces and sharing wine with you for our CWB farewell tour this April.

As we prepare to close our doors at the end of this month, we humbly ask for your support to help us finish strong AND ask that you make it a point to get out and support your favorite spots, wherever they may be, in Portland. We believe in Portland’s food and beverage community and will look forward to each having more time to support other food and beverage businesses from the other side of the counter.

🍷 Our CWB Farewell Schedule:

- 4/3 - 6: Viv at CWB
- 4/10 - 13: Cristina at CWB
- 4/17 - 20: Viv at CWB (3/20 is the last Sketchy Sundays!)
- 4/24 - 26: Cristina at CWB
- 4/27: Last day with both Viv & Cristina!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything. We could not have created this warm, welcoming, and accessible space for everyone to enjoy wine free from pretentious barriers if not for you.

With deepest thanks (and jazz hands forever),

Cristina Gonzales & Vivianne Kennedy, Proprietors and Winemakers at Community Wine Bar
