Julia Torchut

Winemaker

After earning a Bachelor's degree in chemistry, Julia felt called to her vocation and went on to earn a National Diploma in Oenology from the University of Bordeaux. She now travels extensively, working as a winemaking consultant in vineyards around the world.

In her early career, she worked for vineyards in Quebec, before leaving to work internationally, including at a winery in Chile and then on as far as New Zealand, as well as at numerous vineyards in France, from the Rhône Valley to Bordeaux.
