What do you get when you combine more than 50 of the world’s best winemakers, their finest wines, delicious food, and a great cause? An event that makes the average wine tasting seem, well…average.

Our May 2nd tasting showcases a portfolio we are proud to represent.  With each tasting more finely tuned than the previous, we can safely guarantee that this Grand Tasting will be nothing short of stellar.

In 2011, a record number of winemakers/winery principals attended, 49 in total with well over 250 wines. This year we are planning for our best event yet and hope that you will join us as we return to Artscape Wychwood Barns, a historical, industrial architectural landmark turned urban Arts and Community Centre in the heart of the city.

You will be pleased that many of your favourite wineries are returning to Toronto and at this moment, we have confirmation from 54 of them, our largest number of participants yet.  You will find some big names and famous wines, along with many gems yet to be discovered.
