Role overview

Small Winemakers Collection | Downtown Toronto
Most successful representatives earn $100,000–$150,000+, with top performers exceeding that, through an uncapped commission structure and an established customer base in Canada's premier wine territory.
This is a relationship-driven sales role, not a transactional one.
You'll represent a premium portfolio of family-owned, imported wineries to Toronto's restaurants, sommeliers, and beverage directors — introducing new wines, running staff tastings, coordinating wine dinners, and growing accounts you build yourself.
If you're entrepreneurial, know Toronto's on-premise wine trade, and want a career where your effort sets your income, we'd like to meet you.

What you'll be doing

Growing and managing a portfolio of restaurant and hospitality accounts
Building relationships with sommeliers, beverage directors, owners, and managers
Introducing customers to new wines and producers
Conducting staff education sessions and wine tastings
Coordinating wine dinners and special events, including occasional visits from winemakers
Identifying new business opportunities throughout your territory
Managing account receivables
Working toward defined sales and profitability targets

What we're looking for

Proven success in wine or beverage sales, preferably within Ontario's on-premise market
Existing relationships within Toronto's restaurant community are a strong asset
Strong communication, negotiation, and organizational skills
Comfortable using Microsoft Office and CRM tools
Valid Ontario driver's licence and reliable vehicle
Must reside within the GTA

Preferred:

A hunter mentality — comfortable prospecting new accounts, not just managing existing ones
WSET certification or Sommelier designation
Smart Serve certification
College diploma, university degree, or equivalent professional experience

Compensation & Benefits

Uncapped commission structure with quarterly performance bonuses
Established customer base to accelerate your start
Andrew Peller Limited employee benefits
Ongoing wine education, including occasional travel to visit producers we represent
Flexibility to work from home when appropriate, with most of your time spent in the field with customers

If you're passionate about wine and hospitality, and want a career built on relationships and results, we'd like to hear from you.
