AIDV Canada, with support from AIDV’s U.S. Section, is pleased to present our Fall 2024 webinar offering the account of first movers in British Columbia and Washington State, with a focus on the regulatory and business process of importing grapes or juice. Their experiences to date can offer a roadmap for winery and vineyard operators and their advisors on both sides of the Canada – U.S. border. Such a roadmap may be adapted for future cross-border (bi-direction) sale of grapes or juice between North American wine regions.
