Episode 21: BC Wine Industry 2024 "Roundup" (Megan O'Neill, Farris LLP)
This “roundup” episode is about the key BC Wine Industry news stories from 2024 - from a legal perspective.
It’s a “101” on certain rules and regulations which govern how we make, market, sell, buy or taste wine here in British Columbia - and how these rules operate as the wine industry navigates serious challenges not only around farming, but also running a business in the current economic climate.
Megan O’Neill joins as episode guest to navigate this 2024 Roundup. Megan is a Senior Associate at Farris LLP, a Vancouver-based law firm, which also has an office in wine country Kelowna. Megan is a corporate M&A lawyer who has a depth of experience working with BC Wine Industry matters.
Tania and Megan discuss 2024’s “replacement vintage”, BC’s wine trade war with Alberta, onsite tastings at wineries or on restaurant outdoor patios, the potential of developing wine country into a more integrated tourism destination, and the overall state of the industry from a transactional M & A point of view. And more.
This episode is for wine industry people, everyday consumers or anyone interested in business.
