Toronto to host first-ever holiday all-you-can-taste wine festival this fall

Wine Fest Toronto is returning this festive season with its first-ever holiday edition. The popular festival, hosted every spring, returns for its second time this year with a seasonal, three-day celebration of all things wine. 

The spring edition made waves earlier this year, but this holiday version will add a festive twist to the experience, with organizers promising "over 100+ wines and drinks from around the world," with unlimited tastings included in every ticket.

And the best part? No drink tokens are required. From sparkling bubbly and sake to rich reds and crisp whites, you'll be able to get your fill without digging through your pockets for that last ticket or token you were sure you had.

Along with a global lineup of wines from Argentina, France, Spain, South Africa, New Zealand, and beyond, attendees can also savour plenty of local Ontario favourites and fill up on offerings from food vendors, selecting what pairs best with their choice of drink throughout the event.

The event will take place from Nov. 21 to Nov. 23, inside Heritage Court at Exhibition Place, and the venue will come to life with live entertainment sets, curated to set the mood for unlimited tastings.

Tickets are sold by session — Friday evening (6 to 9 p.m.), Saturday afternoon or evening (1 to 4 p.m. or 6 to 9 p.m.), and Sunday afternoon (1 to 4 p.m.), and each one grants all-you-can-taste access during your slot. Tickets start at $75.14 for each session, and you can purchase them directly from Wine Fest Toronto's official website.

Wine Fest Toronto's holiday edition will take place at Heritage Court at Exhibition Place, located at 19 Nunavut Rd.
