Tuesday September 15 -- 2017 Burgundy

Your Burgundy 2017 tasting will explore a classic and balanced vintage. Vignerons cheered this vintage after suffering through a series of challenging years (2012, 2013, 2014, & 2016)., The 2017 vintage brought welcome relief with generous yields and wines of elegance and purity. Your tasting will contrast wines from the Côte de Beaune with the Côte de Nuits. Expect wines that express their terroir and have entered into their drinking window. Wines that define great Burgundy.

Tuesday October 20 -- Piedmonte Nebbiolo

Let's do something a little different and delve into the world of Nebbiolo, the noble grape of Italy's Piedmont region. Often called the "king" of Italian grapes, Nebbiolo is responsible for the legendary wines of Barolo and Barbaresco. But there are other areas in the Langhe and Northern Italy that showcase this noble grape. This tasting will showcase a range of expressions, from the structured and age-worthy wine of Barolo and Barbaresco to the power of the Lombardy's Sforzato di Valtellina region.

Tuesday, November 17 -- Another Bin End Dinner!

These dinners are always a club favorite, so we have put 2 in this years calendar. Expect the November event to have a holiday themed menu. It's a great way to close out our year and kick off the festive season!

Tuesday, June 15 – Bin-End Dinner

The Toronto Vintners Club is not just about wine tastings. Every now and then we like to pull some bottles from the cellar, collaborate with a local chef, and tailor a dinner menu to pair with the wines. These dinners are about sitting with the friends we've all made at the Club, both old and new, and comparing notes about the bouquet and palate from the selection of wine chosen for your table. And how the food-pairing helps accentuate the wine's best features.

Tuesday, September 21 – Pinot Noir North vs South Hemisphere

We are officially making Fall Pinot Noir season, and we're kicking it off with a hemispheric showdown. Taste your way through the classic finesse of the Northern Hemisphere (France, USA, Canada, England) as it goes head-to-head with the vibrant, fruit-forward energy of the South (Australia, Argentina, Chile, South Africa). Come ready to debate and cast your vote for the ultimate champion of the heartbreak grape.

Tuesday, November 16 – Rioja – Traditional vs Modern

Close out your 2027 season with a fascinating debate in a glass: the old-world soul versus the new-wave energy of Spanish Rioja. We'll contrast four traditionally made and aged Rioja blends against four modern expressions that are changing the way that many people enjoy Rioja wines. Join us to decide which style of Tempranillo captures your palate.

How Our Tastings Work

Based in Downtown Toronto, we meet on the third Tuesday of the month, nine times a year, to taste and discuss different wines.

Each event typically costs between $110-$150 per member. Non-members/guests can attend, space permitting, at a premium (up to 40%). Price includes wine and light appetizers.

On the night an expert guides us through the wines enabling members to learn, taste and debate our favourites of the night. We provide a tasting sheet that lets you capture notes on each wine:

Colour & Clarity: colour as a result of grape varietal, age, and climate
Bouquet: aromas from the grapes, wine making process and ageing
Palate: taste, texture, finish
Plus: your overall impression of the wine

We then rank each of the wines according to these preferences and share with the group. The Guest Speaker contributes their scores for a fun comparison with the Group's scores.

Cancellation Policy:

We will provide a full refund for any cancellations up to 7 days prior to an event and 50% refund for cancellations between 7-3 days prior to an event. There is no refund for cancellations 3 days or less prior to an event, unless the event is sold out and the tickets can be sold to someone on the waitlist.
