10/10 experience at Downtown Winery. We booked a tasting with food pairings and could not recommend it more. Aimee guided us through the tasting and was overall incredible! Even if you’ve been to other wine tastings, you can’t miss this one. The knowledge that Aimee has is vast and she made it very accessible and interesting for us who weren’t experts. The wines were delicious and the food we ordered later very yummy. We all learned so much and will certainly be back to buy more wine! Thank you!
I hosted my 28th birthday at Downtown Winery and had such an amazing time. I reserved the wine and snack bar option for 8 people. The staff were very attentive and the food and wine were so delicious. The service was amazing and they even let us bring a cake. Will be coming here again. Thank you for making this birthday super special for me!
We recently hosted a client event at Downtown Winery and couldn’t have been more impressed. Aimee and Jenny were absolutely incredible to work with—professional, attentive, and made the entire planning process seamless. Our clients were blown away by the exceptional service and inviting atmosphere of the winery. The setting was both elegant and cozy, creating the perfect ambiance for an evening of mingling and relaxation. The wine tasting experience was a highlight, with each selection perfectly curated and beautifully presented. It added an extra layer of sophistication to our event, and our clients couldn’t stop raving about it. If you're looking for a venue that combines impeccable service, stunning ambiance, and top-tier wine, Downtown Winery is the place to go. Highly recommend!
Our adult family had the best time here. We each ordered different flights & tried them all. The olives were out of this world. Sourdough Bread with different types of olive oil ... delicious. Service outstanding. Thank you!
I had my engagement party at Downtown Winery and Jenny and Aimee are just INCREDIBLE to work with! So thoughtful, warm, and attentive to every creative and delicious detail. We had great wine, yummy food, and you can really just feel all the family love that goes into this place. I'd highly recommend renting out Downtown Winery and working with Jenny and Aimee. Could not have asked for a better way to kickoff my wedding weekend!
Hosted my 30th birthday at downtown winery in their event space. The whole experience was amazing. Aimee was super responsive while organizing the details of my party, the service was perfect, and the space was set up beautifully. Thank you for a great night!
Absolutely adorable spot and perfect for a date! The wine flights are delicious and they have cute small bites too. I loved sitting on the dreamy lit patio!
Stopped in for a break from shopping and there were absolutely no regrets. The atmosphere and the staff are ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! So welcoming, wonderful conversations, eager to educate, and the drinks are delicious! I ordered ‘Peach on the Beach’ and was definitely transported to serenity. Make sure to ask for the ‘shortcuterie table’! Love, love, love!
A great vibe! Food and wine was above expectations and service was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. We ll be back for sure.
I had my birthday in the event room and can t recommend it enough. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. Downtown winery made my night extremely special! Best kept secret for birthdays.
I am not a person to leave reviews unless the service or the product has been exceptional. I have been to downtown winery a number of times and everyone has been super friendly with a great curation of wine. They care and you feel it when you re there!
Delicious Chardonnay. Would go back for sure.
My husband and I had a great experience at this winery. Their happy hour prices are amazing and you can purchase bottles to take home right at the winery/restaurant. We will definitely be back!
We don t live in Toronto, but every time we visit, we go to the Downtown Winery. We love the wine, the delicious appetizers and the service is amazing. There are so many eateries in Toronto, but we ALWAYS choose to return here
Great vibe. Great wine. Great people. What else do you need ?
This has become my go-to spot for late afternoon meetings and catch-ups. The servers are friendly and know their stuff. The $5 happy hour wine is the best deal in the city.
Always going to be a regular here, great service and great wine :)
Great place for a glass of wine after work !
Great experience and the service was excellent
Lovely little spot, chic decor, attentive staff. Try the 2020 Touriga Nacional Reserva!
Come here all the time and love the wine! Was here last night with my partner on the patio. Waited a while to have our order taken because the staff members were being rearranged across the patio and indoors so our table got missed. The GM Carrie/kerry/carey (i am sorry i really wish i knew the correct spelling) graciously came by to comp our drinks which was so unexpected and thoughtful. They really take their customer experience seriously and it just warmed my heart! Very sweet and kind people here:) <3 <3 <3 <3
My family and I had a lovely time at Downtown Winery. The staff was incredibly helpful, both in taking/modifying our reservation and being accommodating throughout our visit. The location is fantastic - in a vibrant neighborhood not far from Trinity Bellwoods Park. The ambiance is modern, casual, and industrial, with the added bonus of outdoor seating. We ordered flights to sample the wines (perfect size at 2oz x 3 glasses) and took advantage of their amazing Happy Hour deal (5oz for $5 - you cant beat that!). The snack menu offered a great selection, and we even purchased bottles to go. Most importantly, the wines were delicious! We will definitely be going back again. (Just a heads-up for designated drivers: parking can be limited.)
I come back to this lovely winery time and time again. Amy and Carrie are always so kind and sweet. They have a great selection of wine, a great space and welcoming environment. A Toronto favourite!!
Rude and elitist
Great place, perfectly located and with an awesome atmosphere. We went there for the happy our. It is incredibly cheaply priced and deliciously good wine.
Downtown winery is by far my favourite place to drink wine. The staff is always so friendly. Carrie the GM always makes our experience even better. The food is amazing along with the wine. 10/10 recommend to anyone who is looking to try! The overall atmosphere is fantastic.
Always amazing, best happy hour and can t wait to come back!
Great wine, great snacks and great people! Always have fun visiting here for happy hour. All the team are so friendly and welcoming!
My family and I had a pre-wedding celebration tasting and all I can say it was an amazing experience. 100% would recommend this to all families and friends, small or big.
Ale was our server today and she was super nice and amazing with a beautiful smile. Thank you Ale!
The wine and atmosphere was perfect for a Saturday afternoon. Alejandra was a lovely and attentive server. She made sure we had everything we needed and gave great recommendations. Need to make this spot a more regular visit!
This is my new favorite place to hang out and sip wine for the summer. Their wines and snacks (esp the pecorino) were delicious
Good no fuss place for a few glasses of wine in the afternoon. A flight of wine will surely make any dinner taste great :)
Super cute wine spot! Great pricing and amazing customer service :)
Love the vibe and customer service. Great wine selections from CA, Portugal and Canada.
We were there on a Saturday afternoon, great wine., great service! Very nice environment, we loved our server, Alejandra, she was very nice and attentive. Thank you Downtown Winery and Alejandra for the experience!
Came here for a friends birthday. We were a large party that walked in and Jazzy was an absolute gem! She made sure to make it special for the birthday girl and was very attentive. She was so helpful when it came to drink selection and had amazing customer service. 10/10
Great happy hour! $5 wine. We loved the Portuguese one. The rose is very fruity. Great space a good vibe
We stumbled upon the Downtown Winery during a walk and what was intended to be a quick glass of wine turned into incredible 5-hour stay, filled with great music from their DJ and excellent wines. The highlight of our night was Alejandra, who took care of us throughout the evening and made our date truly special. She went above and beyond to spoil us, but it was her kind and genuine personality that truly made our night memorable. Alejandra is the true heart of the place, so enthusiastic about working there. The winery has a great ambiance, we felt like we were transported to Europe. We cant stop talking about our experience and we re already looking forward to our next visit. We want to stop by for Happy Hour next time.
My new favourite spot in Toronto! The wine is wonderful and fairly priced, the staff are lovely, particularly the male sommelier who remembered me after only visiting once. Highly recommend for a casual glass or for a social occasion as the environment is laid back but made to entertain.
L is great! She provides an amazing customer service.
Overall I had a great experience at the Downtown Winery. Only reason for 4 stars is because I had made a reservation and was 15 minutes late due to traffic. Upon arrival I was told they had just given my table away. Although I couldve called the bar to advise them Id be late, they also have my number from my reservation and could have called to inquire if I still needed the table before giving it away. Alejandra saved the experience and went above and beyond to ensure I got a table and took care of us for the rest of the evening. She completely uplifted my mood and was attentive, gave menu recommendations and was just super pleasant and friendly. This is a great spot to celebrate any special occasion. I was celebrating my 10 year anniversary. Alejandra brought over celebratory champagne for me and my partner which was thoughtful. The ambiance is a cool vibe and the bar decor is cool too. It isnt a huge bar but big enough to host a small party/gathering. Washrooms are single use which is nice but it can get busy - lineup moves fast. The food menu offerings are tasty and the wine options are top notch for such a great value. The have a DJ playing cool Portuguese/Spanish music and the happy hour is a whole vibe. I cant wait to go back and celebrate my upcoming birthday here! Hoping to have Alejandra serve my group.
Loved the vibe on this spot. Music was awesome, staff super friendly and wine very good and reasonable priced as well. We didn t had anything to eat on this opportunity but I ll be coming back to try their food options!
I love this place. Always great service, wine is great, cozy(you can dress up or down) and vegan options.
Had the best time celebrating my brother s birthday here. Alejandra is the BEST. She was incredibly knowledgeable and very attentive. I will be coming back for the wine, charcuterie, and vibes.
Knowledgeable, patient staff. Amazing prices and great location. I listened to my server be so patient with a problem table and she truly handled it perfectly. I will be back.
All I can say is wow!! My partner and I stopped in at the Downtown Winery on Wednesday, March 27 during happy hour (we actually didnt know this until we arrived). We ordered the rose, malbec, and torres vedras featured on the happy hour menu. They were all amazing. I came away with a 1.5L bottle of the torres vedras. We also ordered the black truffle pecorino with honey, and the sardines and olive oils with black truffle potato chips. I am always sold when black truffles are featured. Everything was delicious!! The sardines were the best I have had in a very long time. I will be coming back with my sister as soon as possible.
I came a few days ago for a few drinks during happy hour and absolutely loved it. The space is so beautiful and the staff is so friendly, we were so well serviced and at the end I believe it was the owner who let us know about the live music they have in house on the weekend. Will absolutely be back.
GREAT happy hour! Alejandra was our server and she was FANTASTIC. Great vibes, great staff, loved it all!
I was eager to experience this establishment, but unfortunately, my excitement was met with disappointment. Despite waiting patiently at our table for 30 minutes, no staff member came to take our order. Instead, they appeared preoccupied with casual conversation at the front, showing no concern for the waiting customers. Regrettably, we left without being acknowledged or attended to. Disappointing service detracted from what could have been an enjoyable experience.
Two of us visited the winery on April 7th, around 6pm, and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. From the moment we entered we were met with hostility, the host offered us a table in the back, but when we requested to sit at this table more in the sun, we were met with a disgruntled hmmmmmm to which we just requested to sit at the bar (this table was unoccupied the entire time we spent at this bar, and other such tables were also occupied with couples). While at the bar, the service was quite minimal, our server didn t seem to have much knowledge about the wines themselves, and the menu did not come equipped with any vintage information (quite odd for a wine bar). We ordered flights, and were planning on ordering snacks but the server never came back to take our order even though we requested. Once we received the wine, we never received the nuts even though they were being dropped off for everyone around us. The wine itself was okay, typically at a wine bar the staff will offer more insight into what wines to pick, but here it seemed like they were just trying to rush us out. All in all, a terrible time, and I ve never faced service like this on Ossington. I would recommend trying club Paris, bar piquette or one of the other restaurants on the street for a better and more enjoyable wine experience.
I dont know how anyone could give this place less than 5 stars. Their staff are super friendly, their wine is delicious and affordable and their happy hour is legit the BEST in toronto. 5oz for $5, cant beat it! PLUS they are family owned, believe the hype, this place is the best!!! shoutout to the GM Carrie - always making everyone feel welcome.
Great vibe, pretty chill atmosphere. Had a DJ spinning some Mexican tracks which was cool. Arrived during Happy Hour (2 - 6 every day!) so definitely took advantage of the cheap drinks and snacks. It was $5/glass for an assortment of wine/rosé. And $8 for an assortment of snack apps. Cant forget the unlimited corn nuts at the tables! Our server was fantastic and very attentive. Overall a great experience and something that would be worthy of an intimate birthday outing.
Local portuguese family winery based in Toronto. You can order 3x 2oz wine in the flight format to try the various wines. The burrata is pictured and is a massive portion. It doesnt come with bread so you need to order the bread taster. They provide free corn nuts. Minus one star because they were sold out from some of the grapes at the beginning of the night and I had high expectations for a wine bar on a weekend.
Alejandra was absolutely awesome and made my birthday celebration incredibly special!
We loved our wine tasting with Aimee, super informative and took great care of us. Delicious wine and tasty charcuterie board too! Would highly recommend & will be back!
Such an absolutely amazing experience with Amy and her staff! She made us feel so welcome, and she was so personable. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody coming to Toronto or everyone in general. The most amazing atmosphere, the most amazing wine, and most of all the best vibes. The wine was exceptional as well as the service. I would recommend this place absolutely everyone.
Wonderful experience! I was looking for a nice place for my wife and I to go taste different wines and just relax and I was more than pleased. We went mid-day during the week, great ambience, not too many people. The owner and staff were very welcoming. Since we dont know much about wine we went for the Wine Flights which let us taste 3 different wines. We paired that with different cheeses and chilli jam (you need to try the chilli jam w/ cheese!). It was all just too good. Ontop of that they took their time to explain the different wines, where they are from, what the differences are, what people appreciate about the different types etc. it was a great introduction for us to the world of wine. I definitely recommend this place and I will be going back again soon
Came here for the happy hour special - super cute spot! The wine specials and the snacks were good. We tried bee stings, octopus and burrata. The octopus was my favourite. Definitely recommend checking out this place out
Such a wonderful view
I had an amazing experience at the Downtown Winery! Staff were super attentive, very polite and nice, the ambiance was beautiful, and the wine was amazing! I celebrated my birthday here with a few of my friends and the staff really made it an incredible experience! They had a saxophone player performing live to some great music! I will definitely be recommending this place to all of my friends! Thank you so much!
So much love for this neighbourhood family business and their wines! The staff and service are always friendly too.
Had such a lovely time at Downtown Winery. Not only were the cheese and charcuterie boards delicious but can t beat $5 wine during happy hour. Shoutout to our server Alejandra, she made sure we were content and was super helpful highly recommend!
Every time we go to DW, we have an amazing time. The moment you walk through the door you can feel it being a family business. Love the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Alejandra, our hostess last night, is great and we love her energy and care. Definitely recommend this place.
Coziest place for a couple of glasses of wine and some snacks!! Amazingly priced and so fun. Alejandra is an angel make sure you get her wine recommendations she knows what she s talking about!!!
Everything from wine to snacks was amazing. Alejandro our server was super friendly!!
This place is spectacular!! Alejandra was the best server Ive ever had, the best service Ive ever experienced. I love wine because of her!!! Thank you for making our experience at downtown winery absolutely amazing.
I loved Downtown Winery. The ambiance and aesthetics were modern and inviting. The wine selection is fantastic, offering lots of options to choose from. We enjoyed the Pinot Gris and rose, both of which were delightful. Our server Luisa was very knowledgeable and friendly. Without a doubt, its a unique and excellent place to enjoy with friends.
Reasonable wine prices, great weekend vibe and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. A great first stop venturing north on Ossington from Queen West.
This place is the go to place to enjoy an amazing happy hour with nice wine. Today Alejandra was our server and she was absolutely amazing. We felt the care and attention to detail while we where there. We hope to see her next time we visit.
This place is so cool, I came with my friends for happy hour and our server was Alejandra she had the best attitude and showed us attention and make sure we were doing fine. I would definitely recommend this place.
Best place in town! They were so kind and generous. Glad to spend my birthday in Downtown Winery! Amazing people! Thanks a lot
I celebrated my birthday here with a large group in the wine bar area and would definitely recommend! Aimee was a great help and showed excellent customer service prior to helping me with details of the reso. The vibes were amazing as well as the Dj that was playing and overall a stellar experience!
Love everything about this place! The food, the great selection of wine, the ambience and most importantly the people who work here. It really feels like when you step in, you have stepped out of Toronto and into a European winery, like a little escape without having to hop on a plane. Thank you Aimee and team for creating this beautiful space in the city!
It was such a great vibe and experience! Will definitely return. Alejandra provided wonderful service with her positive, upbeat attitude :)
Alejandra was the most phenomenal server and delivered 10/10 customer service! Check out this place and request her. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and efficient!
I love Downtown Winery, especially their happy hours. Its just amazing to have good wine at such affordable prices and with a great ambiance. And Alejandra made our experience much better with her amazing service. Cant thank her enough.
The best ambient , great time. Congrats
A lovely experience in the middle of the busy city. Great price point for quality wines and a good time. Definitely would recommend!
Great wine
We did the red wine tasting as a family and had an amazing time! Aimee was so kind, patient, and informative it truly made it a wonderful experience for our family. We are so happy to have discovered this place and couldn t recommend it more, we will certainly be back again to support this family business!
We did a private wine tasting experience with Aimee, who was very warm, welcoming, and well-versed in all things wine. Ambiance, people, and wine are all amazing. Highly recommend for those looking for a fun date night idea, we will definitely be back! Was a bit cold in the tank room, so bundle up if you re planning to do a private wine tasting.
My experience at downtown winary was spectacular, Alejandra was super nice and gave us exceptional service, I would recommend this place for you and your friends or you and a date to come to it is really nice.
Had my birthday here. Downtown Winery kindly accommodated a 25 person party. I preordered some shareables for the table which they had kindly set up prior to everyones arrival. The presentation of the food exceeded expectations. Lovely atmosphere and wonderful staff.
Great atmosphere for a date night or out with girls with good wine and nice service.
Fantastic wine and great service in a wonderful environment, what more could you want?
What a gem.. we will be back.
Excellent wines, very reasonable price points, knowledgeable and attentive staff, cool, sultry vibes. Happy we finally stopped in!
Great wine and happy hour deals
Very pretty place. We went last night and sat at the bar and the 2 ladies bartending were so friendly and attentive. Wines were very good too!
Recommend going at happy hour if you can (from 2-6p everyday)! Generous wine pours for $5. The servers working that day were very friendly. They appeared to be very focused on cleanliness behind the bar which was great to see! The atmosphere was pleasant, music playing at appropriate volume. Cute, simple decor. We even got a small complementary snack with our wine! We only came for drinks, but we saw some ordering the small plates they offered and they looked good.
A great stop; something different! Cool, elegant ambiance; wonderful service; a really fun evening out. (And Id love to try the tasting room some time....)
A great celebration of wine and food. Carrie, the manager, made us feel very welcome. The Portuguese wine is great value.
One of the best places to chill, enjoy, relax and Jazzy is amazing .
Well be back and you should consider giving this place a try because its worth a visit. Youll most likely leave with at least a bottle of wine in your hand.
Delicious mimosa and Cabernet flight!
Service and atmosphere was great.
Good spot to grab a glass of wine, friendly bartenders. Nice open air seating when the weather is nice. Happy hour deal is excellent.
I like the server and also enjoy the wine I got. But the disappointing thing is she didnt ask 6oz or 8oz Id like to order. I only asked for a glass of wine and eventually got 8oz which I thought the extra is on the house at the beginning. After I got the bill, I found they charged me 8oz automatically which is different price from the menu. Ive already finished the wine so I can only pay for that. I wish the server could ask how much Id like to order because the menu only shows the price of a glass (I think its usually 6oz) and a bottle. If they ask the customer first, it could really avoid the confusions and complaints.
Such a great spot! Their festival deals for Do West were incredible! Will definitely be coming back :)
The food is delicious, their wine is amazing and staff are super friendly! One of the best charcuterie boards in the city!
Happy hour wines $5 Refreshing place to stop for a glass and the food is food is full of flavour. Loved the olive oils.
Went there for drinks and food with friends in a Saturday evening. Staff was friendly. They have some outdoor seating, bar seating, inside tables and really big communal tables in the back. They serve wine and have some food. I enjoyed my time there and the food was good. It was busy but not crazy packed as some other areas on Ossington can be. Nice chill atmosphere.
Very lovely owners. Great service!
I had a lovely experience at the Downtown Winery Bar two nights ago! Had a flight of wine and some barrata with thick, sour bread. There is no kitchen per say so meals are hearty, tasty snacks. Joe the manager is really excellent at what he does! My server Louisa was incredibly knowledgable about the wines. The price points are very reasonable. You can even pick up some wine and cheese while there ( as well as other giftables. When we discovered my credit cards were compromised, they did not get angry or embarass me, they did whatever they could to be kind and help me out. This is a great place for a first date and beyond-BTW the food and wine were delicious!
I loved the atmosphere and its focus on just wine and the variety of that, Staff were caring and never let the glass be empty.
Well designed space with a cool, friendly vibe. Good quality olive oil sampler and wine menu...will definitely return for the rose sangria.
Really nice folks! Great wine. Glad we came.
We booked the tasting room on July 29th for a bachelorette and had a wonderful time - it was educational, engaging and very fun!
Visited here last Friday, 18th, had recently arrived from the Uk. It was quiet, the place is really really nice, we sat in the front on a nice big table. We enjoyed the flights and some of food. The staff were super nice and knowledgeable an all round great experience.
Love that place! Unfortunately something happened on may 5th and on august 25th when I saw the same waitress she made me feel like a piece of shot so we just walked out! Luisa was so excited to see me which felt amazing but the waitress that saw us on may 5th held a grudge so now we are never going back there. Love Luisa! Too bad the other one made it that we felt unwelcomed
This is the second time i went to Downtown Winery. i think this place is great, but when we went on Aug 18 after work for Happy Hour, and my colleague ordered a second round of drinks for himself - the waitress told him that our table is cut off from ordering more drinks. Our group was confused so we clarified with another staff, who happened to be behind bar (female blonde) and one of the Managers. She was very helpful, sweet, and kind. She also spoke with the other Manager (male) to find out what had happened because he was the one that instructed the waitress to cut us off. The female Manager (sorry i forgot her name) cleared us in ordering more drinks, but we were still confused why we were cut off because a) we were all over 40yo and def can handle our alcohol b) we only ordered two drinks (5oz each) so far?! c) we were NOT driving d) we can pay for the drinks This really ruined our evening and experience. The female manager made it up by giving us a free drink on the house. What would have been nice and made this experience positive for the remainder of the stay was if the MALE MANAGER came to our table and offered his apology for doing what he did, and what he did was not acceptable and it was rude. He didnt even glance at our table the whole time we were there, its like we were aliens and not worthy of serving. I hope he gets reprimanded for his actions this is not how you treat customers or people. This is why i gave it 1 star for this particular incident.
Was outside walking (slowly) and the lady server and I bumped each other. I apologize and instead of doing the same she tells me to watch where I m going. Rude staff.
I would give this amazing spot 11/10 if allowed. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our food and sangria immensely. Shout out on the Burrata, chips with french onion dip, shitake mushroom pate and to the olive oil with balsamic tasting flight. Really happy to have travelled from uptown to find this wonderful gem in Ossington. We look forward to a return. DO NOT MISS IT!
Yesterday evening I held my daughters birthday celebration at DownTown Winery, in their private room. They were the most accommodating before and during our event. It was exceptional service! We were accommodated in every way. At one point we initially believed we had to cancel our party due to numbers but they agreed to move our smaller group to the public space. When I received some last minute RSVPs the evening of, they were most welcoming to move us back into the private room and set up the space at the very last minute. Everyone in our group gave you guys 10/10. We loved trying the various wines on your menu s. The selection of snacks, hors d oeuvres was just right for the evening. To Aimee and my new found buddy, our host, Jenny and everyone else that was on staff last night, thank you! We had a blast. We ll be back soon.
Really loved the place - very cozy - great atmosphere - amazing staff!
Our server Alejandra was an absolute delight. Her smile was not only beautiful but we always felt she was so genuinely happy to be serving us. She was extremely generous with the corn nuts and always kept the water bottle full. She so elegantly balanced taking care of all the needs of all the tables she serviced. Great wine, nice food, amazing service.
Celebrated a friends birthday at Downtown Winery last night. Wine is excellent, atmosphere/music also great, all the staff are so friendly. Apps were delicious. Our server Alejandra was so lovely she helped set up some of the cupcakes I brought for the birthday party and sang happy birthday with us. I would def return for a nice chill night with friends.
This place is a hidden gem! Good affordable wine with delicious snacks (free corn nuts for all!). Some of the best service I ve received in Toronto. Staff were all super friendly and attentive and truly made our experience that much more special. Great spot to grab a few glasses of wine with friends
Okay, hear me out, the best happy hour. 5$ - 5 ounce glasses from 2-6 pm. Nice choices from their own wines. Service and decor is lovely. Can t believe this is on the Ossington strip.
This place is amazing! We went Saturday night and our host Alejandra was phenomenal. The mushroom patte was excellent. Great vibes, food, and workers. Can t wait to come again!
Good prices for wine especially during happy hour. We ordered a chardonnay, sangria pitcher and a truffle pecorino with honey (way more delicious than expected especially with the excellent bread basket) S/O to Alejandra for the fantastic service.
Great happy hour and friendly staff!
I was beyond thrilled to learn that there is a chic winery in the city. I celebrated my birthday with a group of friends at Downtown Winery this past weekend. We attended a Private Wine Tasting Experience (Taste the Rainbow), led by Aimee who was just fabulous. Aimees knowledge and energy made the experience worth it for a group of first-timers. The team at Downtown Winery was amazing when accommodating my requests in terms of food and timing. After the experience, we were having such a great time that we did not want to leave so Aimee and her team moved us to another table to enjoy some more. Overall, incredible atmosphere and team. Im so excited to come back again.
extra star cuz they are absolutely delightful . Tastefully done space , spacious, great wine menu (Dont miss the red wine sangria its the best I have ever had), great DJ and the staff is the most polite and one of the happiest lot.
Downtown Winery, a gem in Toronto, exudes a warm, family-owned charm. Savor great wines amidst a friendly ambiance. The personal touch of the owners adds a delightful touch to the tasting experience, making it a must-visit for wine enthusiasts seeking both quality and hospitality.
We went for a wine tasting session and it was absolutely fantastic. Aimee was really awesome and extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking into getting into wine. 10/10 experience :)
Lovely ambience. Great place to gather with friends, plenty of space and lofty vibe. Cab sauv from California was good.
What an educational, fun-filled outing this was! We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing Amys warmth and knowledge; she led an amazing wine tasting for us! The timeframe, information, snacks and selection of wines were perfect - 10/10, for sure! Highly recommend!
Nice flights of wone at a reasonable price. The bread and olive oil is a hreat accompaniment
Super cute place with great wine and great atmosphere to go on a date or with your girlfriends. The staff was so nice! I can t wait to go back.
Downtown Winery was kind enough to support one of our events, and we LOVED their products. The wine bar looks phenomenal and we cant wait to take a moment to fully enjoy it. Thank you again guys!
Such great customer service
Everyone is really kind! Very nice place!
My partner and I were visiting Toronto for the first time, and this was by far the highlight of our trip! Aimee made us feel welcomed and made sure our trip was memorable. We can t wait to be back, but in the meantime are so excited to bring our bottles back with us to Chicago! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Very enjoyable time at this Ossington winery. Offered are quality wine tasting options and bites. The sitting area is somehow limited, however if you come on time all should be fine. Overall it brings an exciting concept for a different type of city leasure so its very much recommended.
Good selection of urban wines in a relaxed tasting environment. Highly recommended!
Wonderful experience, was here for a bachelorette, definitely recommend
This is a must for anyone that enjoys wine, the selection is amazing, the service is stellar, and you can take home a bottle of anything you taste
Enjoyed our experience both times we ve come here. First time just my partner and I, where we got the whole private back room to ourselves. Came back with my family for a birthday, and the night before ended up in the hospital. The people at downtown winery were so nice about rescheduling on such short notice. Was able to rebook and had a great time
Incredible place to for a bachelorette, we were there yesterday we were treated amazingly, learned lots and of course the wine is great!
FIRSTLY, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH AMY! We absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED this experince! If I could I would rate it 10 stars! Please visit if you come to Tornoto! The ladies here are AMAZING! The WINE WAS AMAZING! The vibes were perfect and the food was AMAMZING! I appreciate this!
Found this place by accident! Amazing wine, service is awesome and the snacks are perfect. A perfect place to spend a Saturday afternoon or an evening. Great event space or for a romantic drink. You must try the wine flights! We will be back!
Awesome place staff are all fun! Great selection of wine and snack food
Burrata is big.... some are way too small, but this one is worth it.. and a great pesto with it. The wines.. well.. they know a thing or two about that as well! :)
Great wine, cool vibes, ...... Happy hour Malbec
Beautiful, aesthetically pleasing establishment. However, I didn t find the service to be good. I went in with a couple of girlfriends for some drinks and the girls working there didn t seem to care that we were there. They served us our drinks and that was all, didn t ask if we wanted anything else. Just an unpleasant experience, I don t think I d go back.
Wine cheaper than the LCBO and 1000x better. Great service as well
I would come back.
Good service, ambience and location. We enjoyed the wine flights and the olive oil tasting but the wines were extremely dry and the 6 types that we tried tasted the same
Great little local winery! The staff were knowledgable and friendly. All the wines we tried were great, and the winery has such a charming city vibe. Perfect place to visit for a few sips!
Great, very reasonably priced wines. The snacks are good, too.
Amazing wines and great value. Highly recommend
Dropped by on a Saturday afternoon. The store is absolutely stunning and I received excellent recommendations from the person working (Didnt get her name). Purchased 3 bottles for under $40. Excellent value. Ill definitely be back.
My favourite place ever.
Excellent wines - Im especially a fan of the Malbec, and definitely give the canned wines a try as well! Perfect for a hot day at the park. The customer service is unfailingly warm and friendly. The folks at Downtown Winery truly make it a pleasure to support local.
Service is excellent and serious winery vibes in downtown Toronto
Best customer service and best wine ,very friendly owner very nice and very friendly workers too.highly recommended.
My boyfriend and I came here once before the pandemic and we decided to come back for a date night and it s so much better than I remember! The olive oil sample is delicious. My favourite was the fish with bread (forget what it s referred to as on the menu). I definitely want to come back and try their fish charcuterie!
Olive oil tasting platter was great Wines were really good. However the server really likes spider holding glasses. She ensured that she touched every wine glass and water glass by the area you drink from with her entire hands/fingers
Excellent vibe and extremely friendly service!!
I absolutely fell in love with this sexy establishment, the moment I found out you can buy the bottles of anything you taste. Amazing wines at great price points, cant go wrong. Staff was wonderful, charming, and created a perfect flight based off my favorite type of red. The place is filled with extra little treats and decadence to bring home and build a wonderful wine tasting of your own.
Had a private tasting here for a friends birthday and it was excellent. Wines are tasty, prices are good, and the space is great. Our only issue was that it was extremely cold inside but I can forgive that given that the vats need to be kept relatively cool.
Newly opened, nice staff, free oil samples (try the garlic) & good wine for a reasonable price. I recommend doing your own flight and trying a few different ones. Fresh trendy atmosphere and they had some Disney playlist on while I was there which definitely earned them bonus points in my book. The full food menu was not available at the time I went, but I ll give them some time to settle in and definitely go back and try some food.
Popped in on our way to dinner the other night. The space is beautiful and the staff friendly. A good start. Then we tried a few flights of their wine. They had quite a few unique varieties that we had never heard of before. They were all good with some I would say as excellent. For me, the Cab Merlot Reserva and the Syrah Reserva were my favorites. Next time we go, well plan to have some of the snacks they offer. By the way, it was so affordable. Not your typical Toronto glass-of-wine prices. Check it out!
Great wine and amazing service.
I love this place! Great locations, beautiful wine bar and the prices and staff are amazing!
Hidden gem in Queen West. This place is a total cultural experience, not to mention the expertise of the staff, who are just delightfully inviting -- you feel part of the family! The interior also is exquisite. Its perfect for a special occasion yet affordable enough to enjoy on the regular. Love this place.
Delicious gorgeous wine, incredible service.
As a total wine novice, this was such a fun experience. They ve got a really interesting selection, and are more than willing to explain the origins, ingredients, and styles. Our server Danielle was fabulous - truly knowledgeable and willing to go above and beyond to ensure we had a great time while learning something along the way. I have already recommended Downtown Winery to numerous friends and colleagues!
Really nice family run business. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and its a fun experience if youre window shopping on Ossington. Try the Malbec from Argentina, it wont disappoint.
Great service! Danielle helped me pick out the perfect rose! Awesome store! Great selection good wine!
This winery I have been buying from them for awhile now and never a disappointed in the quality and service that they give. For a local winery the staff is very knowledgeable on the products they sell and always will recommend something for you if your undecided on what to get.
Been going for well over a year every six weeks to bottle wine. Have made House Red, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Grigio. For a dollar a bottle you cant go wrong. The Reds taste great with oak added. Pinot Grigio is outstanding.
This is one of my places to go for yummy tasting wine that never gives me a headache.
Amazing staff. Great Wines!
So easy to set up and bottle, no mess. Shiraz after 6 weeks already tastes good. Person helping was incredibly nice and patient. I will be back again!
Have made Cab-Sauv, Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, an oaked Chardonnay, and a Riesling at Macedo and my friends and I have enjoyed them all...unfortunately I never seem to get the opportunity to put some down for later......
Perfect store
Ive ordered several batches, never a bad experience, heartily recommend it to anyone looking for a great batch table wine.
