Years of Participation

2024

Chris Johanson, State Manager at Trinchero Family Estates, relocated to Charleston in 2022 after establishing his career journey from a young age. Beginning as a restaurant hand at 16 and bartending his way through college at the University of Florida, Chris gained valuable experience before venturing into corporate roles, spending five years at PepsiCo. However, his true passion ignited when he joined
Trinchero Family Estates, a move that marked the beginning of a 12-year tenure marked by diverse roles within the company. Falling in love with the storytelling aspect of wine, Chris finds joy in its ability to
unite people and evoke romance. When he’s not traveling, Chris resides on Johns Island with his wife and two children, embracing outdoor pursuits like surfing and fishing during his downtime.
