How it all started
Canadian wine has a rich and surprising history that dates back to the 1800s, but it wasn’t until the 1970s and 1980s that the industry truly began to flourish with the introduction of European Vitis vinifera grape varieties and the establishment of stricter quality standards. The international success of Icewine helped put Canada on the global wine map, particularly in regions like Niagara and the Okanagan. Today, Canadian wineries are celebrated for their cool-climate expressions, innovative winemaking, and a growing range of world-class varietals across British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia.
