A 14-member delegation of small and medium business owners and government officials from Shanghai will visit Vermont over the Labor Day weekend (September 6 to September 8). Hosted by the Vermont Chamber through its Shanghai Trade Office, the group will tour Vermont attractions and develop business partnerships with Vermont companies.
"We are developing a strong brand for Vermont in China's major east coast cities," said Chris Barbieri, Director of the Vermont Chamber Shanghai office. Our ongoing relationship with China will help many of our small businesses expand the sale of their products into the Asian market and will give Vermont the international recognition that it deserves.
On Monday, September 7, at 2:30 pm, the delegation will make a stop at Snow Farm Winery in South Hero. Snow Farm Winery, a member of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce is owned by Harrison and Molly Lebowitz. Currently, Snow Farm Winery is working on the sale of its Ice Wine in China. The delegation will tour the winery and attend a wine tasting. Members of the media are invited to attend this event but must call in advance to set up an interview.
Snow Farm Winery has made great progress toward getting its Ice Wine distributed in China, said Barbieri. We re hopeful that connecting members of this delegation with small Vermont businesses like Snow Farm will bring them one step closer to new market opportunities in Asia.
The delegation s visit to Vermont is being organized by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce and the Shanghai Small Enterprises Trade Development Service Center, a division of the Shanghai municipal government which has a close working relationship with the Vermont Chamber.
