Later next month five international experts will come together, drawing on their collective experiences to bring new perspective to the wine industry.
Presented by Liquidity Winery and Okanagan College, Wine Talks, An International Perspective on Wine Marketing, is back for a second time.
“We are so pleased to build on our connections with the B.C. wine industry, and to continue working with Liquidity Winery,” says Jim Hamilton, the president of Okanagan College. “We look forward to hosting another Wine Talks with an excellent panel that brings a variety of knowledge to the table.”
That panel will come together June 26, at the Okanagan College’s Penticton campus.
Leading the discussion will be Mark Davidson, the global education manager for Wine Australia with more than 35 years of experience in the industry.
Joining the sommelier will be WineDrops founder Karen Graham; Rob McMillan, the executive vice-president of the wine division of Silicon Valley Bank; and Vancouver-based lawyers Mark Hicken of Vintage Law Group and Shea Coulson.
“The College plays a significant role in educating members of the B.C. wine industry, from the vineyard to the tasting room,” says Ian MacDonald, the owner of Liquidity Winery. “We are delighted to work with them to bring world-class industry experts to the Okanagan and provide professional development events for our growing wine region.”
Wine Talks will be held on Monday, June 26 at the Penticton campus of Okanagan College (room PC 113, 583 Duncan Avenue West), from 6 to 9 p.m., including a coffee and wine break. Early bird tickets are $35 until June 19, when the price increases to $45. Tickets can be purchased online.
