Arterra Wines Canada has named John Boynton as its new president and chief executive officer, effective March 28, 2022.

"Arterra has significant opportunities to grow from its current leading position in the wine category to become one of Canada's great companies", said Dave Perkins, board chair, in a press release. "We are confident that John's strong leadership will build on our current success and take our organization to the next level."
