About this Event

Thursday September 17, 2026 7:00–9:00 pm

You’re invited to an exceptional wine tasting celebrating the remarkable diversity and quality in Canada’s top wines. This exclusive evening features a hand-selected collection of unique and hard-to-find Canadian wines, discoveries that showcase the character, creativity, and growing sophistication of vineyards across the country. Expect intriguing varietals, discover new appellations and wineries in distinctive bottles rarely encountered outside their close circles.

The tasting has been assembled by David Lawrason, Canadian wine expert and national writer, whose knowledge and passion for Canada’s wine story make this a truly special opportunity. He has been one of Canada’s best-known wine writers, reviewers, educators and judges for more than 35 years. A former wine columnist for The Globe and Mail and Toronto Life, he founded Wine Access magazine, co-founded the National Wine Awards of Canada in 2001, and is now a principal critic with WineAlign and publisher of Lawrason's Guide to Canada's Best Wines

A passionate champion of Canadian wine, David has devoted much of his career to discovering, tracking, evaluating and promoting the country’s finest wines and emerging regions. His expertise and longstanding commitment to Canadian wine make him an ideal guide for this special tasting of rare and distinctive Canadian discoveries.

Join us for an evening of discovery, conversation, and exceptional Canadian wines, as David guides us through a selection designed to surprise, delight, and perhaps introduce you to a few new favourites. We look forward to raising a glass with you.
