Coferment Management was built on the belief that independent BC wineries can benefit from experienced operational leadership while still retaining their own identity, priorities, and decision-making autonomy.
Alongside direct fractional GM and consulting engagements, Coferment may facilitate voluntary opportunities for clients to collaborate on shared challenges, purchasing opportunities, learning, or joint initiatives. These opportunities are selective, practical, and always respectful of confidentiality.
You are hiring Coferment Management for focused leadership support. The network is an additional advantage, not the service itself.
Elevate your decision-making with powerful insights. Our platform facilitates shared (anonymized) data, enabling wineries to make informed choices based on comparative analysis and industry benchmarks.

We have over 15 years of boots on the ground and in the vineyards. Our team of experts to hand has a deep understanding of the industry and the current challenges we face.
Introducing our General Manager Erin Korpisto - Erin grew up in the Okanagan and, after a career in architectural design that took her to Calgary and to the UK for several years, she decided to move back to the Valley in 2009 to pursue her passion for wine. Since then, Erin has spent time in most facets of the industry: the cellar, vineyard, tasting room, outside sales, marketing, social media, communications, and management. In 2017 she received her Wine Business Management Certificate from Sonoma State University Wine Business Institute, in order to better prepare for the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Level 4 Diploma, which she completed in 2022. Erin was a wine educator for 10 years with Okanagan College and is a member of several industry boards and committees. She is also the General Manager for Terravista Vineyards and Synchromesh Wines.
Erin works comfortably with confidential information and is happy to operate under a non-disclosure agreement where appropriate.
