At Artisanal Wine Imports, we pride ourselves in finding hidden gems that are not typically available in Ontario. We travel extensively, visiting and speaking with winemakers on a regular basis as we are constantly looking for that rare mix of quality and value. From Old to New World World , Champagne to California, we challenge ourselves to find winemakers that bring great value to our client's table. Launched in 2005 by 2 self-professed "Burgundy Geeks", Artisanal Wine Imports started as a small agency dedicated to importing high-end wines from Burgundy. Today, we represent more than 60 producers from around the world.We, as a team, are passionate about wine yet, we understand that selling wine is a business and needs to be taken seriously. We also understand the complexities of growing within a monopoly environment as well as helping our producers find growth in the emerging Ontario market. Our staff brings unique skills that are not necessarily present in most other agents: We have experience in managing businesses, growing markets, working with highly regulated monopolies, building relationships and we also have unique experience in understanding what our clients need to grow their businesses. We have earned an excellent reputation for importing wines that offer good value and are representative of the character and terroir of the region. To that end, we like to uncover small & mid-size winemakers who are sensitive to these needs, and introduce their hidden gems to the Ontario market. This is what our clients have come to expect from us.
