Join us for a night that celebrates one of the most talked-about grapes in wine—and gives it the spotlight it truly deserves
About this Event

Before the film, enjoy a guided tasting of Merlots & Pinots from around the world, exploring the range and character these often misunderstood varietals have to offer—from plush and fruit-forward to structured and elegant.

Then, settle in at the iconic Garneau Metro Cinema for a screening of Sideways—the legendary wine film that sparked conversations (and controversy!) around Merlot itself.

Your ticket includes:

  • A curated pre-movie tasting of Merlot and Pinots
  • Fresh popcorn to enjoy during the film
  • Two glasses of your favourite wine to sip while you watch

Whether you're a longtime Merlot or Pinot lover or just curious to revisit it with fresh perspective, this is a fun, relaxed evening of wine, film, and great company.

Trust us—you won’t want to miss this one. 🍇
