Caroline Leblanc

Canadian sommelier and marketing aficionado Caroline Leblanc is Star Wine List's Social Media Manager and Quebec Ambassador. Her passion for wine was kindled in her youth, amidst weekly gatherings of family members around the kitchen island, tasting different wines.

“That’s when wine sparked a little something in me (pun intended @alittlesommthing). I started to wonder, what magic does wine hold that brings people together? How does it amplify moments of connection and joy?” she says.

At 18, she dove into the industry as a sales clerk at SAQ (Quebec’s monopoly), solidifying her devotion to the captivating world of wine. Fuelling her ambition, she pursued a Master’s Degree in Marketing Management at ESADE in Barcelona. Her journey with Familia Torres as Brand Ambassador and Export Area Manager for half a decade further enriched her expertise.

Caroline's thirst for knowledge led her to get her sommelier certification in Montreal, and she now charts her course as a WSET Diploma candidate. In May 2022, she joined Hopscotch Sopexa Canada, as a Senior Account Manager. She also holds the position of Vice President of the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers, embodying her commitment to the industry's advancement and excellence.
