Wine Fest Toronto, Toronto’s favourite wine and drinks festival, returns this spring for a three-day celebration of global wines and beverages at Heritage Court at Exhibition Place from May 15th to 17th.

This vibrant wine fiesta invites guests to sip and explore hundreds of wines, spirits, ready-to-drink beverages, and drinks from around the world. Alongside the tastings, visitors can enjoy music, artisanal food truck eats, and plenty of photo-worthy moments throughout the festival.

The popular interactive wine classes make a return, where guests can deepen their beverage knowledge and discover new favourites.

A New Token System for Tastings

New this year, Wine Fest Toronto introduces a token system that gives guests more flexibility in how they explore the festival.

The new model allows attendees to sample wines at accessible prices or invest their tokens in premium pours. Guests can also pre-browse the full drinks list and plan their tasting experience through Wine Fest Toronto’s digital wallet, creating a more personalized and seamless festival experience.

“The Fest has always been about discovery, and for this year, we wanted to feature wines from France and redesign how guests experience the festival,” says Angela Aiello, Chief Creative Officer of Wine Fest Toronto. “The new token-based model means lower admission prices, giving guests more flexibility and a more intentional way to explore incredible wines and drinks from around the world.”

French Wines Make Their Debut

Another highlight this year is the debut of French wines at Wine Fest Toronto. Guests will have the opportunity to discover selections from some of France’s most celebrated wine regions, adding an exciting new global element to the festival’s lineup.

Whether you’re a casual wine drinker or a dedicated enthusiast, Wine Fest Toronto offers a lively environment to discover new wines and enjoy one of the city’s most popular spring festivals.
