Trade only refers to those working professionally in a wine-centered business. Sometimes events are exclusively for those buying wine for retail stores and restaurants, and other times to focus is to bring importers together to try wineries that are looking to get into the British Columbian market. If you are unsure if you qualify for a spot at one of these events, please reach out to consulting@thisiswineschool.com.

These events are part of being in the wine trade. Being on time, notifying organizers when you are running late, and being mindful for communicating if you are unable to attend are all essential aspects of attending trade events. These are seminars and tasting where attendees are there to learn and develop professional relationships. Although fun, they are still work!
