Thanks to Team Sheppard RE/MAX Hallmark: 2018 Riverside Wine & Craft Beer Fest Co-Sponsor!

From April 3rd to 7th, wine and craft beer lovers can take part in the 4th annual Riverside Wine & Craft Beer Fest, to delight in tasting new and established Ontario wines and locally brewed craft beers, while getting to know Riverside shops, eateries and community spaces better. It’s essentially an Ontario wine and craft beer tour – right here in Riverside!

This year’s festival is hosted by the Riverside BIA, co-sponsored by Team Sheppard RE/MAX Hallmark and Jason Friesen Mortgage, and supported by festival partners Eastbound Brewing Co., Toronto Food Tours, the Ralph Thornton Community Centre and All Wrapped Up Events.

The Riverside BIA is proud to work with event co-sponsor Team Sheppard RE/MAX Hallmark. Long-time supporters of other great Riverside programming such as Riverside Walks and the Riverside Antler Breakfast, Team Sheppard RE/MAX Hallmark are familiar faces in the community and have a lot of love for Riverside. We caught up with this fabulous team to get to know them better and share more about their story:

What do you love about Riverside-what do you feel makes this area unique?

Samantha: I love the collection of local stores and restaurants. There’s a real sense of community and you’ll always bump into someone you know walking down the street.

Shep & Share: The neighbourhood is a real community, The Broadview Hotel has been an amazing addition, giving Riverside great press and reviews.  When we’re out and about we see people we know and meet new friends.

Megan: It’s such a beautiful landscape, I love the mix of architecture, the local shops and small town/community feel. It’s great how connected and central we are to other neighbourhoods.

 Why did you decide to sponsor this event and how does it connect to you?

Shep & Share: We like to be part of what’s going on, participate and get to know our neighbours who live in our community, plus we like wine.

Megan: Love supporting the Ralph Thornton Community Centre and its programs. The festival is a great opportunity for new breweries in Riverside to get connected and a great event for clients and neighbours.

What’s a fun fact people may not know about your team?

Shep & Share: Megan and Samantha are third generation realtors. Their grandparents were, and there parents are real estate agents serving the community for almost 50 yrs.

Megan: I was born on De Grassi Street and now my office is at the foot of De Grassi! 

What’s your favourite thing about the work you do?

Samantha: It’s awesome working with family and, when working with clients, we want them to feel that they’re family too. Our dad (Shep) always says, “treat every client the way you’d want someone to treat your own mother”.

Shep & Share: We get to work with our beautiful daughters. We love the way that they take care of their clients and that their clients love them for everything they do for them.

Megan: Moving homes is part of bigger life changes. It’s a transition in life and I love having that connection with people, who start off as a client but very quickly they’re part of the family. We’re realtors for life.

Big thanks to Team Sheppard for all their amazing support in the business community!
