João Diamantino Cavaco Pereira is a multidisciplinary professional with over 25 years of international experience in winemaking, wine tourism, logistics, and hotel management, having developed projects in Spain, France, Switzerland, Portugal, Mexico, and the USA. My profile combines advanced training in winemaking (Master's from the Université de Toulouse), commercial management, and Supply Chain Management & Logistics (EAE Business School), along with a Bachelor's degree in Physical Geography.

Key Experience and Achievements

As a Winemaker and Wine Tourism Consultant, I have led the design, implementation, and maintenance of vineyards and wineries in various geographies, totaling over 100 hectares implemented throughout my career in Mexico, the USA, and Europe. My experience includes:

Design and Implementation of Viticultural Projects: I have designed and implemented boutique vineyards and wineries, such as a 12 ha project at Viñedo Viñas de Picachos (Mexico, 2019–2023) and the planning of 24 ha at Viñedo y Bodega Montérrez (Mexico, 2018–2021).

Wine Production: Consistently produced Rosé and Red wines in various wineries.

Wine Tourism Development: I am an expert in creating wine tourism experiences, thematic tastings, and innovative sensory routes, which have been recognized in the sector. I even designed the first structured national wine tourism program in Mexico.

International and Multilingual Profile
With Portuguese citizenship (EU) and a valid work visa in Mexico, I have immediate availability for international mobility in the USA, Europe, or LATAM. I am multilingual, fluent in Portuguese and Spanish (Native), and English, French, and Italian (Advanced), facilitating multicultural negotiation and global project management.
