This is a bit of a long one, but we promise it’s worth the scroll! We like to think of ourselves here at The Vine as part of one big family with our winery partners. Family-owned wineries tend to play the long game – we’ve been working with some wineries for so long that we now see the next generation taking the reins, growing from kids in the vineyards to accomplished winemakers and principals in their own right. Others we’ve only just welcomed into our extended family – and to help you get to know them (new and old) we’re doing a very special friends and family pricing event until the end of June. Order 2 or more cases for free delivery in Southern Ontario!
