Toronto Stagette Wine Tastings
A Stagette Everyone Will Actually Remember.
Skip the matching T-shirts.
Skip the overcrowded bars.
Skip yelling over bad music while trying to keep the group together.
Instead —
Gather your favourite people, open incredible Canadian wine, snack on beautiful cheese and charcuterie, and spend a few hours laughing, celebrating and discovering bottles you'll be talking about long after the wedding.
Whether you're planning something elegant, laid-back or somewhere in between, I'll create a wine experience that's every bit as memorable as the occasion.
More Than Just a Wine Tasting
This isn't a lecture.
It's not a class.
And nobody has to pretend they're a wine expert.
I'll guide your group through an incredible lineup of Canadian wines while keeping the conversation relaxed, interactive and fun. We'll compare favourites, bust a few wine myths, learn a little along the way and, most importantly, enjoy ourselves.
Because that's what wine is supposed to do.
Celebrate with Canada's Best Wines
Most people have no idea how good Canadian wine has become.
That's about to change.
Every stagette tasting features thoughtfully selected wines from some of Canada's most exciting wine regions, including Niagara, Prince Edward County, the Okanagan Valley and beyond.
Many of the bottles are made in small quantities and aren't widely available at the LCBO or your neighbourhood wine shop.
Your group won't just drink great wine.
You'll discover something genuinely new.
Tailored to Your Bride
Every bride is different.
Some want a relaxed afternoon in the backyard.
Some want an elegant evening before dinner.
Some are hosting at a cottage.
Some are kicking off a weekend full of celebrations.
Whatever you've planned, I'll tailor the tasting to suit your group.
Want sparkling wines?
Done.
Love Chardonnay?
Absolutely.
Curious about skin-contact wines, Pinot Noir or hidden Canadian gems?
Let's build a tasting around them.
No cookie-cutter packages.
No one-size-fits-all experiences.
Host It Wherever You're Celebrating
I'll come to your home, Airbnb, condo, office, cottage or private event space anywhere in Toronto and the GTA.
Need a venue?
I can help arrange one.
Planning a smaller celebration?
You're also welcome to host your tasting around my dining table in my Toronto home for an intimate experience.
The Perfect Start (or Centrepiece) to Your Day
A wine tasting fits beautifully into almost any stagette itinerary.
Before dinner.
After brunch.
As the main event.
Or as the perfect excuse to gather everyone together before heading out for the evening.
It's relaxed enough that everyone can participate, but memorable enough that it becomes the highlight of the weekend.
What's Included
Every stagette tasting includes:
A private sommelier-led Canadian wine tasting
A curated selection of exceptional Canadian wines
A tasting tailored specifically to your group
Plenty of conversation, laughs and wine stories
Optional premium Canadian cheese and charcuterie featuring local artisans and farms
Setup, guidance and everything needed for the tasting
All you have to do is invite your favourite people.
I'll take care of the rest.
Why Book With Me?
I'm not just a sommelier.
I'm a Canadian wine writer and communicator who's made it my mission to introduce more people to the incredible wines being made across this country.
That means your group isn't tasting the same bottles they've already seen a hundred times.
They're discovering producers, regions and wines that most people have never heard of—but won't forget.
It's approachable.
It's personal.
It's distinctly Canadian.
And it's a lot more fun than another night shouting across a crowded bar.
Let's Celebrate the Bride
If you're planning a stagette in Toronto and want something unique, relaxed and genuinely memorable, I'd love to help.
We'll open great Canadian wine.
We'll eat well.
We'll celebrate properly.
And we'll send the bride into married life with a few new favourite bottles.
Send me an email and let’s start planning.
