Toronto Wine Tastings for Groups
A wine tasting in Toronto that actually feels like a night out.
Planning a birthday, girls' night, book club, dinner party, client event or just an excuse to get your favourite people together?
Crushable Wine Club hosts private, interactive wine tastings in Toronto for groups who want to drink great wine without the stuffiness or intimidation.
You'll taste Canadian wines, learn what's actually in your glass and have a genuinely fun evening doing it.
No wine knowledge required. No pretension. Just good wine, good people and a host who knows how to keep the conversation flowing.
Your group. Your wine night. Your way.
Forget the standard wine tasting where someone lectures you for two hours while everyone quietly stares at their glass.
Crushable tastings are designed to be social, entertaining and approachable.
Your tasting can include:
A curated selection of Canadian wines
Wines from across Canada
Simple, useful tasting techniques
Food and wine pairing ideas
Stories about the wineries and people behind the bottles
Plenty of conversation and absolutely no wine snobbery
Whether your guests are wine experts or people who normally order whatever has the prettiest label, everyone can participate.
Perfect for groups of friends
Birthday celebrations
Make the birthday feel like an experience rather than another dinner reservation.
Girls' nights
Gather your favourite people, open some great Canadian wine and let me handle the rest.
Book clubs
Pair your next book discussion with wines that give everyone something to talk about.
Dinner parties
Add a hosted tasting before dinner or make wine the main event.
Anniversaries & celebrations
Mark the occasion with something memorable and distinctly Canadian.
Client entertaining
Give your clients an experience they'll actually remember.
What happens at a Crushable tasting?
1. Canadian wine expert, Laura Batten, chooses the wines
I'll curate a selection based on your group, occasion and interests.
2. I host the experience
I'll guide everyone through the wines, explain what makes them interesting and tell you what you actually need to know.
3. You taste
You'll try the wines side-by-side and learn how to identify differences in grape varieties, regions, styles and winemaking.
4. You have fun
Ask questions, argue about your favourites, discover something new and enjoy the evening.
There is no test at the end.
Why Canadian wine?
Because Canada makes far more interesting wine than most Canadians realize.
From Niagara Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc to Prince Edward County Pinot Noir, Okanagan reds and Atlantic Canadian sparkling wine, there is an entire Canadian wine world waiting to be explored.
And that's what makes a Crushable tasting different.
You're not just tasting wine. You're discovering Canadian wine.
Hosted by Laura Batten
I'm a trained sommelier, wine writer, hospitality professional and the founder of Crushable Wine Club.
For years I've been helping people discover Canadian wine without the intimidating language and unnecessary rules that can make wine feel inaccessible.
My approach is simple:
Canadian wine. Real conversations. Zero pretension.
