Testimonials

« I met the APVSA in 2008. Thanks to them, I have been in contact with quality interlocutors in Quebec, Ontario and in the USA. The contacts made us sell in both countries, and the development in the United States is promising. I can only thank them for the great work they have done and the richness of their contacts. The structure is innovating and well made. It changes from some intermediaries that you always have to pay for uncertain results. It is a pleasant atmosphere with intense prospecting periods, but always in a good mood.
Thank you again, and I hope our partnership will last long.»
Nicolas MILLIARD

« A first tasting tour with the APVSA in the USA and potential importers interested in each city: have we already done such performances? For me, it did not happen in a long time in a group mission: is this the success of this mission that explains why other French organisations came and “spy” us in Chicago?
Anyway, congratulations for this organisation and you professionalism. Can’t wait for the next tasting tour to continue our common success!!»
Christine CORNIL – Vignerons des Garrigues

« Rencently member, we aprechiated the profesinalism of the team of the APVSA and the contacts made with the different prospects.

« My experience with the APVSA is excellent and this is why I want to continue developing this fruitful collaboration.
Pascal Fernand and his team have a very good knowledge on the Canadian market, its particularities and the possibilities for the wineries.
This led me to make efficient contacts, as it was the case in Toronto and Montréal in June 2009.»
Deborah Knowland

« I am very happy to have contacted the APVSA. I have been trying to develop my activities in Canada for a year with an agent met in Vinexpo in 2009, but nothing moved on. Thanks to your presentations, I met two agents in Montreal and Toronto very interested by my products and we are going to start working. Thanks to APVSA’s network, I spoke with distributors who work with them and have the better judgment on their capacity to work with our products.
This collaboration started two months after contacting the APVSA, it is to say how efficient is the APVSA and joyful. The conversations I had with Pascal Fernand led me to make a choice of agent quickly, within the ones interested by our products.
Congratulations to the APVSA and thank you. I am certenly going to go on the American market with the APVSA. See you soon!»
Dominique de Vernejoul Compagnie Vidzar

«When, some years ago, I decided to subscribe me to APVSA, I believed to look for the opportunity to have some more knowledge of Canadian wine market, but I did neither hope to have the opportunity to begin a long collaboration with a serious organization that could conduct me through North American market knowledge.
I’m a little wine producer with not many possibilities to attack wine consumers and almost none possibilities to reach little importers and distributors, the only that can be interested by my niche product: with APVSA it was possible. Now I’ve an agent in Canada (even if local monopoly is still oriented to big-name wines and causes many difficult to the introduction of little and unknown producers) and some connections in USA.
I’m still following the indications and the tasting organized by APVSA, and this, after 5 years from the first, is an undoubtedly sign of trust.»

« Thanks to Pascal Fernand, a wine tasting in Toronto was concluded by a relationship with a good Canadian agent that had two Corsican wines referenced for us at the LCBO.»
Pascal BIRON

« I started working with the APVSA this year, and the first results did not take long to arrive. They related me to several agents in order to participate to the calls for tenders of the LCBO, and after the second call for tender concerning my appellation both products have been selected for a total of 320 boxes.
Moreover, I am currently in contact with several importers in the USA. To conclude, I think it is an association with very competent people and very close to their clients in order to follow them in the best way.»

«Excellent service, serious people presenting interesting contacts and the Canadian human touch.»
Jean Roux – Domaine les Chenes blancs

«In 2006, I was contacted by APVSA. They where organizing meetings with agents of the monopolies throughout Canadian provinces. In the beginning, I wasn’t very sure about becoming a member because I never heard about this association. After a quite long thinking, I decided to try in order to enter the Canadian market. At my arrival in Canada, I was surprised by Pascal Fernand and his team’s organisation. A week full of meetings in the different provinces with Pascal, a very efficient partner to make us meet the agents and always available to inform us on the good persons. Following this first journey, I obtained markets. In order to solidify my relation in Canada, I participated to a second tasting which made me develop further more my sales. When Pascal developed in the USA, I didn’t hesitate a second to participate to the meetings in this country where the conjuncture is difficult because I knew I could count on Pascal and his team to help us enter this market. In 2008, I sold 2420 boxes in Canada and sales are about to begin in USA. I also know I can contact him any time for help in my commercial approaches. APVSA is a reliable, serious and efficient partner where people are real professionals, where “after sales” services exists and this is priceless. My only piece of advice is: Become member to the APVSA.»
Micheline Fauconier – Vins et Terroirs Export SA

«Many thanks to Pascal Fernand and his team. Without them, I would not have been able to penetrate the Canadian market.
Furthermore, they represented my wine on my behalf because I couldn’t participate in the tasting event. I hope one day I’ll be able to make this trip.
They’re always available to listen to me.
Today, the monopoly accepted my wine in Ontario and I’m waiting for an answer from Quebec. I have been successful in getting a US agent. My wish is to improve this year.»

«We attended meetings organized by Mr. Pascal Fernand in Toronto and in Montreal in April 2008. As Bordeaux vine growers, we met agents interested in our wines. The 2 days were well planned, at good locations, and very friendly. We decided to select one agent for each state upon the advice of Mr. Pascal Fernand who is very knowledgeable on the specifics of each.»
Laurent Dubois, Chateau Les Bertrands, France

«I was in contact with APVSA to find an Agent who could introduce my products to LCBO for Ontario.I had the opportunity to meet several Agents: thanks to APVSA, for each of them, I was able to get additional information so I was able to choose the Agent that seemed the best to comply to my requirements.
Since then, this Agent has taken the opportunity to introduce one of my wines for a LCBO call for tenders. My wine was not chosen but I hope that one of my wines will be referenced soon thanks to this Agent who answers to every call for tenders. Anyway, APVSA is a very solid source of information: And they are always very available.

«Thanks to the entire APVSA Team for helping us discover the Canadian market, namely the Province of Quebec and for the advertising spot on the radio. Thank you also for the serious contacts in United States.»
Anne Lutignier, Eric Louis SARL, France

«I was somewhat lost in the North American market red tape. Thanks to the positive action of APVSA, I was able to attend the tastings organized by them in Canada and in United States. We made very positive contacts and it is true that only direct contact between the product and the importer gives profitable results. To date, all I was doing was filling forms without my wines ever reaching the tasting buds of the wine lovers !!!
Pascal Fernand and Olivier Lebeul are always available, warm and approachable. They make the whole procedure simple and always listen to you.»
Jacqueline Guichot, Domaine de Saint-Ser, France

«Very pleasant contact with APVSA. I found an Agent for Ontario but the worst part is to come…to sell wine! May 2009 be profitable for us. Sincerely,»
Chantal Amart, Chateau Montaiguillon, France

«During a tour organized by APVSA, I had the opportunity to meet with qualified agents, namely one who could register my wine with the Ontario LCBO.»
Guy Bailly, Chateau Le Bourdieu, France

«Without any formal contacts in Canada and without knowing how to introduce our products on this market, I had been advised by a fellow exporter (Mr. Imbert, from Wienvie) to contact APVSA. I was warmfully greeted by Pascal Fernand and his colleague, Olivier Lebeul. Because of budget reasons, I was not able to attend the October and December Tours with Mr Fernand in Canada and in United States. I asked him instead to represent Vinphonie during these two tours. Our wines were then introduced by Mr. Fernand… successfully, that is to say. We now have one Agent in Quebec to whom we have sent 2 wines for registration with the SAQ and we are discussing with… 3 Ontario Agents. For United States, APVSA introduced us to 2 importers with whom we are having discussions. Because of the slow economic conditions, the situation is now on hold but should we have had to organize these tours ourselves, we should have invested a lot more money compared to the results obtained by APVSA. I would like to thank very much Pascal Fernand and his team for their dedicated work.»
Yvan Furstoss, Sales Manager, Vinphonie, France

«Greetings to all APVSA Members!
We are long time members of your organization (10 years!!!) and our cooperation with APVSA is always as profitable; we will soon visit you at the Grand Salon des vins de Bourgogne in March 2009.»
Dominique Auger, Domaine Allexant, France

«We’ve been in touch with Pascal FERNAND and APVSA for almost 3 years and we have developed sound relationships. The APVSA operating process is clearly explained and what I consider a very good thing is that the producer may be represented by someone in the country when there is a tasting organized with importers. Today, we are talking a lot about APVSA, we’ve already discussed with a vine grower on how APVSA is a serious organization. Many thanks and keep up with the good work in promoting the Bordeaux wines in Canada.
Cheers !»
Paola Gabard, Vignobles Gabard, France

«We were very satisfied with the work and support by all the APVSA team members during this first overseas experience.
Thanks to this 2008 Tour, many contacts were developed which might turn into profitable business shortly.»
Marion Vial, SA Gilardi, France

«APVSA is a dynamic, friendly and professional team.When you meet them, you know things will go well.
When you attend a tour with Pascal Fernand, he knows how to welcome you and to make you feel comfortable before leaving for a very, very busy week:
Days and nights are filled with flights, jet lag and various appointments…there is no time for fooling around or sleeping, yet he always keeps smiling, even with unforeseen events.
Do just like me, experience the event and you’ll be back with various contacts who will become probably future clients and with a lot of memories…

Mr Thirot Fournier, EARL Thirot Fournier, France

«APVSA is a friendly, and moreover, a very efficient team; actually, since the time I know these people, the marketing efforts on the Canadian territory looked easier to manage for  me. We could contact and meet with local agents very rapidly. Follow-ups after the first contacts were well organized.Globally, the results are here today as we are now represented in 2 provinces. But we must admit that, and this is not due to APVSA, it is a very slow reacting market where one must be patient; it took two years and a half between the first contacts and the first orders!»
Patrick Vauvy,  Domaine Bellevue. France

«Producing quality wine is a thrilling adventure, trying to introduce it to wine lovers and professionals is a different one. Crossing the seas to introduce it to the New World is something else. Thanks to your work and your warm welcome, your outstanding and very impressive team succeeded in organizing meetings with several importers and our stay in the USA and in Canada was a friendly discovery. We want to thank you for everything that was done so our journey be a pleasant one and leads to more profitable business relationships.

We would like to state that we have had different results depending on the show but generally speaking we have to say that it has been a very positive experience.

We hope that our relation with APVSA will last for many years.»
Maria Ribeira, Namana Impex, Spain

«Despite the Canadian cold weather in December, we felt a warm welcome as we could realize how interested were the Agents to meet the vine growers. The tastings are held in a happy mood (Pascal is very reassuring), the atmosphere is friendly, serious and I was able to contact several agents from various provinces that, hopefully, might develop into business relationships. Pascal’s tremendous public relations efforts with the Canadian and the American Agents must be acknowledged to allow small businesses like ours to be known on this side of the Atlantic. 

These gatherings are very important to better understand how complex the Canadian market is. Many thanks to all the APVSA team for their availability, their friendship and their welcome.»

Because of that, the tastings organisation are action-oriented and efficient because the selected vine growers meet with motivated buyers.

The reception we had at both wine shows was very welcoming and we found that the attendees were definitely our target market. Through Pascal Fernand’s professionalism and outstanding public relations with all attendees, we had the opportunity to speak directly with the most important elements of the supply chains – the agents and the consumers; we felt that both wine shows provided our winery with an excellent exposure to introduce and showcase consumers and potential new users with the introduction of our product in Ontario and Quebec.»
