The Future of Direct to Trade: The Evolution of Routes to Market

Has the time come for small and medium wineries to move beyond the 3-tier distribution system? Should they build direct to trade networks across states just as they have developed direct-to-consumer businesses?

This session, presented by John Hinman, of Hinman & Carmichael, LLP will examine the potential and significant impact that the 2019 Supreme Court ruling in the Tennessee Wine and Spirits Retailers Association v. Thomas will have on other markets and the opportunity it will present to producers looking to leverage the Direct to Trade channel.

Presenting Speaker:

This one-day education symposium will be held on Thursday, May 7th, from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country in Santa Rosa, CA. The event will include a beautiful wine country buffet lunch and will culminate with an afternoon networking social and wine tasting. The event also features limited space for a small, select number of exhibitors who are interested in showcasing products and services specifically relevant to wineries looking for information about improving their distribution opportunities.

 

Registration for the event is now open and seating is limited. Table-top exhibits and sponsorships are also limited and expected to sell out early.
