A glass among the vines

Wine tasting in Canada is a wonderfully atmospheric experience. Rather than simply sampling fine wines, you often find yourself standing among the very vines where they are produced, with lakes, mountains, or gently rolling hills as the backdrop. Winemakers take pleasure in sharing the stories behind their grapes, the soil, and the character of their region, creating tastings that feel both personal and unhurried.

Each region with its own character

Canada’s wine regions are wonderfully varied, offering not only excellent wines but also the chance to meet the small producers and family-run wineries behind them.

In the Okanagan Valley, you’ll find rich Merlot, elegant Pinot Gris and crisp Riesling, enjoyed with sweeping views over clear lakes and sunlit hillsides. Niagara-on-the-Lake is known for its Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, alongside its renowned Icewine, created during the region’s cold winters.

On Vancouver Island, small, inventive wineries produce fresh white wines and lighter red blends in a relaxed island setting. Meanwhile, in Nova Scotia, charming boutique wineries specialise in sparkling cool-climate wines and proudly reflect the character of their region.

Each area has its own style, atmosphere and wine traditions — a relaxed and personal way to discover Canada’s remarkable diversity.
