Wine Pairing
Carolyne, President and Founder
of Divine Selection
A story of passion
This, is the story of a woman whose passion for wine found her during her first trips in Europe. Guided by this passion, she worked for several years as a Flight Attendant in order to visit as many vineyards as possible. After few years, she decided to combine business with pleasure by studying and working in the wine industry.
After obtaining her status as a Sommelier at the École Hôtelière de Laval in 2002, Carolyne joined the Société des Alcools du Québec, where she was quickly recognized for her a passion for wine and her strong leadership. In order to discover another aspect of the wine industry, she then joined wine representation agencies, as a Sommelier Representative and subsequently as a Director of Development to work on big accounts. Her strength: developing excellent business relationships to create powerful partnerships through the various projects and events she organized. She keeps perfecting her knowledge in wine by meeting several producers in a continuity of development trips.
In 2015, she took on a new challenge by opening her own wine representation agency, Divine Selection. Through her travels and her feeling, she meets one by one the wine producers that make up the agency's offer. A shared passion for vineyards, and a meticulous work in respect of nature and terroir, to create exceptional but unpretentious wines. A divine blend for a distinguished selection, built over the years, according to the senses.
Divine Selection helps seize business opportunities while respecting values and diversity of the main players in the wine industry, including producers, Société des Alcools du Québec (SAQ), restaurant owners and consumers.
