Upon returning to Canada and earning multiple gold medals for her restaurant wine programs, Ms. Sauvé branched off in 1999 to develop a series of wine training seminars for restaurants which took her across the country teaching servers to work with wine. Mireille then further developed her industry knowledge by establishing Western Canada’s first Australian Wine Bureau in Vancouver in 2003, growing the Australian wine category to remain strong as the top selling import in all four western provinces. Mireille Sauvé has worked very closely with restaurants, wine agencies, liquor boards and wineries throughout her career and she is now leading The Wine Umbrella to raise the bar in Western Canada’s wine industry.
