Join Charles Steven Trenholme for the day-long seminar: Importing for Wine, Beer & Spirits For Pleasure & Profit, which provides insights into the dynamics of importing wine, craft beers & spirits into Canada. Charles Steven brings to the seminar 35+ years of experience working in various capacities including managing national sales agency, brand management, sommelier and as an educator.<\/p>\n
Charles Steven knows first-hand that there are still hundreds of suppliers around the world actively looking for importers to represent them in Canada, providing the opportunity to develop a full or part-time career in this dynamic industry. There are also sales and brand ambassador positions available for those with certified sommelier training.<\/p>\n
Many of Ontario\u2019s top importers & agents started their careers after attending Charles Steven\u2019s seminar. They readily agreed that they gained valuable insight to the ins & outs of importing beverage alcohol, as well as the operations of the LCBO.<\/p>\n
There are also good career opportunities for those with WSET or Sommelier training.<\/p>\n

I think your seminar provides a valuable tool and service in the Ontario wine industry. Thank you once again for an informative information session. I enjoyed the seminar both from a professional and personal perspective. From a professional perspective, I have been thinking that this type of seminar would provide a very good introduction for newcomers to the industry on who our biggest customer is and how they,work. I think this would be valued added not just for Sales and Marketing folks (your typical target) but for Operations side people as well.<\/p>\n Doug Saunders \u2013 Director, Supply Chain- Constellation Brands<\/strong><\/p>\n It was a great learning experience for me, and I thank you for the opportunity. You do an excellent job with your presentation<\/p>\n GibertoBojaco \u2013 Past President \u2013 Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers<\/strong><\/p>\n It is the only training seminar for wine agents in Canada.<\/p>\n There are still many suppliers who are not represented in Ontario.<\/p>\n Opportunity for new agents still exists. As do employment opportunities.<\/p>\n More agents = more wines = more selection for Ontario consumers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can watch Steven chat about his course and issues related to importing wine into Canada on this\u00a0live video wine tasting<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CHARLES STEVEN TRENHOLME<\/strong><\/p>\n CS TRENHOLME & ASSOCIATES<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 1 Yonge Street<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Suite 1801<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Toronto, Ontario, M5E 1W7<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Tel: 647-233-3580<\/strong><\/p>\n Email:<\/strong>cstrenholme@sympatico.ca<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
