Hello everyone,
I want to start this article by thanking you, as your presence is crucial for us, and especially because we are very happy to accompany you on this exciting new tour. Indeed, starting October 7, 2025, we are launching our "Back to Wine Business" tour.
This tour brings forth thrilling events that are close to our hearts, with the Sainte-Dégustation leading the lineup.
This divine tasting allows many winemakers to enjoy a privileged introduction into stores with lamp displays in APVSA. This event does not come alone but with a new conquest, that of the night market, as well as other major events such as our podcast "Entre 2 Gorgées," not to mention all these events, the single-window for Bordeaux wines. This night market, so important for experienced spirits producers, is an opportunity for our new members to achieve a sales milestone in the North American and Caribbean markets.
OPPORTUNITY is the keyword of this tour. A word so important for our winemakers because in these complicated times, only the bravest see that it is above all a quest for the audacious. As I often like to say in our Toronto offices, there is never a rainbow without a little rain. This little rain is today a hurricane hitting you, but it portends a future that we hope will be bright.
Our new team, led by a president more committed than ever to selling your wines and spirits in the American territory, is ready for this tour, and we hope you are too.
You will notice that a distance of 4,914 km separates Montreal from Vancouver, but not for us… Because, yes, for APVSA, there are also exceptional encounters, unforgettable moments, and sales opportunities between these two cities for as many of our winemakers as possible. We will indeed start in Montreal on October 7, before heading to Toronto on October 8, then Buffalo on October 9, not forgetting New York on October 10, before taking a breath and continuing with the second part of our tour in Atlanta on October 14. We will then go to Texas to lasso buyers in Dallas on October 15. We will then travel to California on the west coast of the United States, specifically to Los Angeles on October 16, before concluding this fantastic tour in Vancouver on October 17.
