Cuvée is Ontario’s largest celebration of Vintners Quality Alliance wine and the people who make it. Presented by Brock University’s Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute (CCOVI), this annual event invites wine lovers to sip, savor, and celebrate with Ontario’s top winemakers and chefs. The festivities begin with Cuvée En Route, a weekend-long passport program from May 23 to 25. Passport holders can tour Niagara’s wine region and enjoy special flights and experiences at participating wineries.
May 24, the spotlight turns to the Cuvée Grand Tasting, where winemakers have selected over 100 wines for guests to enjoy along with gourmet creations from local chefs at live cooking stations. The celebration continues into the evening with Après Cuvée, featuring live music and selections from Ontario’s breweries, cideries, and wineries. Proceeds from Cuvée support scholarships and research at CCOVI, which helps Ontario’s grape and wine industry thrive. Find tickets and more information at cuvee.ca.
