About Us
Gourvid is a South American specialist, importer and distributor of selected wines from small producers from Argentina, Chile and Brazil. Our goal is to act as a link between unique South American wine producers and consumers in the UK and Europe.
Our producers were carefully selected, looking for outstanding quality and value on their wines. They also complement each other, resulting in a broad portfolio, designed to satisfy several market requirements.
Located in London, we guarantee our clients a personalized service, reducing the gap between the European and the American Continent. We acquire a long-term commitment with our producers and customers in the on and off-trade.
Gourvid's purpose is to facilitate the export, distribution and promotion of the products of our strategic partners within the European Continent. We are focused on interpreting the needs and requirements of both our associates and the target market. This way we help to promote an easier trading insertion of the products we represent.

Juan Manuel has been in contact with the wine industry for more than twelve years, with an extensive experience in international trade. Born and raised in Mendoza, Argentina, he developed a passion for wine since his early childhood. The breaking point in his professional life was when he arrived in London to take an EMBA and came up with the idea of starting a new business venture, importing wines from South America, partnering with people in the wine business while offering him the possibility to continue linked to his own roots.
