My Wine and Food Journey
Good Wine, Good Food, Good Company!
I am a trained wine educator, writer, and scientist. Following my graduation with a M.Sc. in Microbiology, what followed in my adult life was attending tastings with some of Canada's leading wine writers such as Tony Aspler and David Lawrason, taking courses offered by the WSET, reading more wine books and magazines than I can count, and travel to wine regions all over the world. Some of the regions I have tasted include: France (Provence, Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Hermitage, Cote Rotie, Burgundy, Chablis), Southern Spain, Italy (Tuscany, Sicily), United States (Napa, Sonoma, Santa Lucia Highlands, Paso Robles,Temecula, Virginia) not to forget Canada's great wine regions (Niagara, Prince Edward County, Okanagan, Similkameen, Cowichan, Salt Spring Island, Annapolis Valley).
This journey made me a ardent lover of wine and food to go with it. My passion for wine finally culminated with my company – Wine Journeys. I formed it to help people discover great wines and food to go with them. My journey continues and I hope you will join me. Cheers, Trent

The wine world can be confusing. You end up buying the same wines week after week and the restaurant wine list can induce panic if it is handed to you. How do you find better wines?
That's where we come in! Trent is a trained wine educator, writer, and scientist. He tells you wine's story. When you hear its stories, you will walk away from our events armed with wine knowledge and new wines to consider. It is a casual, social environment geared to enjoying and learning about wine and wine appreciation.
