Sunshine Mill invites you to participate in the renovation of this historic flour mill. This transformation will develop the former mill into an artisan plaza with a destination hotel and boutique winery built inside the grain silos.
Our development team is creating a unique experience for artisans, chefs, wine and cheese makers, while rejuvenating this historic mill property in The Dalles Oregon. Part laboratory, part living room, always entertaining, while embracing the grace of the past with the strength of its exciting future. A think tank and testing ground for artists, vintners, chefs and entrepreneurs to develop and market their goods under one vision.
10/10/2008 update. Recent fund raising efforts to raise capital to complete the needed Brewery Grade intersection has positioned the project to continue to move forward with a property design that will create a national destination in downtown The Dalles Oregon.
The most recent design and engineering work on the grain Silos has shown the building to have marvelous potential as a 12 story gravity operated winery with 49 round hotel rooms inside the silo winery. This unique design will feature two silo atriums that will contain the 80 foot tall illuminated wine chandeliers that act as the gravity wine tubes to pass wine from the 11th story crush room to the 2nd story concrete wine fermentation tanks in the lobby tasting room of the Silo hotel.
This visual interpretation of wine will be enhanced by the stay in round hotel rooms built inside reused 100 year grain silos. Many of the sustainable design concepts are focused on creating unique experiences for travelers at the same time as having a world class functional operating facility for the Martin Family of Quenett Winery. Please stay tuned to this web site to see further design updates as they become available in the coming months.
