LCBO Food & Drink Early Summer 2024

The Last Word It’s always a good time to show your love for local.

Ontario’s wine country and VQA wines are leading the world in the cool climate wine scene. Don’t miss the opportunity to purchase your favourite wines directly from the winery – either in person or online. And if you purchase from the LCBO, be sure to look for VQA on the label so you know it’s made from 100% Ontario-grown grapes and 100% locally crafted.

Buy Direct Many of the wines you taste in wine country are produced in small quantities so be sure to pick up your favourites before they disappear. Buy Online Can’t make it to Wine Country Ontario? Visit your favourite winery’s website to buy online directly or use VQA Matchmaker for easy access to wines available for purchase. Wineries are happy to ship wine directly to your door. Wine Clubs Many wineries offer Wine Clubs where you receive wine shipments throughout the year including back vintages, small-lot wines and invites to special events. Look for the Wine Club symbol in our guide and check with the winery for details.

Travelling with Wine If travelling by car, secure the wine in a cooler or box and out of direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. If travelling by plane, ensure the wine is well secured in strong shipping packaging to avoid breakage. Travelling to the United States When travelling from Canada to the U.S. each adult 21+ is allowed one litre of wine. Any additional wine is subject to applicable Customs duty and IRT. * * Please verify with Customs for the most current requirements or new policies.
