Smidge Wines

Trish Wenk

As a partner in the Smidge Venture, Trish's role varies from cellar hand, to sales and marketing, and Managing Director, and although a relatively new entrant to the wine industry she has embraced Smidge's vision for excellence and the passion to create it.

With a background outside the Wine industry, Trish brings a depth of experience in business development, planning and global marketing which lends itself well to the challenges of an Australian wine producer. Before Smidging, Trish developed her career in the IT Industry at one of the worlds largest IT Services companies.   Trish made her mark on the industry within a short time and held regional and global appointments including the Asia Pacific Director for Marketing & Business Planning, & Global Marketing Director for Offshore Applications Capabilities. She has participated in business mentoring programs, and is often sought after to present at industry conferences and educational forums. In 2000, Trish graduated as ‘Sales Institute Top Performer' from the EDS Global Sales Institute, and in 2003 was a finalist in the Australian Young Business Woman of the Year.

Trish lives in Adelaide with Smidge Partner and husband Matt, and their 3 children Eliza, Oscar and Airlie.
