As we move deep into Ontario Wine Week 2026 (running from June 14–20), there is a palpable sense of excitement in the air. For those of us who live and breathe the vine, this week isn’t just a celebration; it’s an invitation to rediscover what our own backyard is capable of.

The Hidden Gem of Piedmont: Discovering the Favorita Grape When you think of Piedmont, your mind likely drifts to the heavy hitters, the foggy hills of Barolo or the sophisticated elegance of Barbaresco.
