LCBO Food & Drink Autumn 2019

ADVERTISING FEATURE CHEERS TO 40 YEARS OF TRIUS! After four decades of award-winning winemaking in the Niagara region, Trius Winery — home to Canada’s largest underground sparkling wine cellar — is celebrating its rich heritage and sparkling future Trius Winery is a true pioneer in Ontario winemaking, harvesting premium grapes grown in the four appellations of Niagara-on-the-Lake and crafting fine wines since the local industry was in its infancy. Over the past 20 years, the winery has built a reputation locally and abroad for its award-winning Sauvignon Blanc, Red and Brut VQA wines, which are artfully crafted by Australian-born winemaker Craig McDonald and showcase the rich terroir of the region. Thanks to its vintage tastings, its beautiful setting and the show-stopping culinary experiences at the Trius Winery Restaurant, the estate has become a beloved destination for wine lovers far and wide. But while history and tradition run deep at Trius Winery, so does an ongoing desire for innovation. This summer, the winery unveiled a first-of-its-kind tour — an immersive, five-stop experience complete with world-class wines, culinary treats and stunning art installations just begging to be Instagrammed. Guests can enjoy a glass of rosé on a hot-pink vineyard lookout adorned with ivy and wisteria. They’re also invited to take in Canada’s largest underground sparkling wine cellar along with a glass of bubbles, the perfect way to toast beautiful vintages past and to come.

“Over the years, the team at Trius Winery has remained true to its focus of creating memorable, pleasurable experiences — whether you’re taking in the immersive Trius Tour, indulging in their many culinary delights or simply enjoying a beautifully balanced glass of wine at home.” — Aaron Pothier, LCBO & Vintages Ontario Wines Buyer
