November 11, 2026 — Chantal brings a diverse background spanning wine, beer and tourism, with experience across brand marketing, industry development and destination promotion. Her cross-sector perspective will be a valuable addition to our team as we continue to champion Ontario VQA wine and connect with audiences across the province and beyond.
In her new role, Chantal will help guide Wines of Ontario’s marketing strategy, strengthen industry partnerships and grow awareness of Ontario VQA wine, while showcasing the people, places and stories that make our wine industry distinctive.
A few words from Chantal:
“At a time when where we come from and what we make feels especially meaningful, I’m excited to join Wines of Ontario and help tell the story of Ontario VQA wine and our wine regions. From the character of the wines themselves to the people, places and experiences behind them, there’s so much to discover. I look forward to working with our winery partners to help more Canadians (and beyond!) discover, choose and enjoy Ontario VQA wines, explore our wine country and make VQA wines part of the moments that bring us together.”
