Our Story

Our Beginning

The Spark That Started It All

WinesCanada.com was born from a simple love of wine — not just the drink, but the land, the people, and the culture behind it. We saw a gap in how Canadian wine was represented online. It deserved better. So, we decided to build a place dedicated to celebrating Canadian terroir, talent, and taste.

World-Class Quality, Right at Home

Canadian wines are vibrant, diverse, and uniquely expressive of our climates and soils. From bold reds in the Okanagan to crisp whites in Prince Edward County, our wine regions rival the world’s best — and they’re just getting started. We believe it’s time more Canadians (and the world) took notice.

What We Stand For

We’re not wine snobs — we’re wine storytellers. We believe good wine should be approachable, and that great wine comes with a great story. Our mission is to connect wine lovers with local producers and help everyone discover new favourites while learning a little something along the way.

From Coast to Coast

Canada’s wine regions are as vast and varied as the country itself. That’s why we focus on regional education, terroir exploration, and showcasing wineries from BC to Nova Scotia. Whether you’re sipping an icewine or swirling a skin-contact Chardonnay, it all starts with knowing where it comes from.

For Drinkers, Makers & Explorers

We want to grow more than just a website — we’re building a community. Through our email list, wine club, giveaways, and soon, curated experiences and events, we’re helping wine lovers find connection. Whether you’re a casual sipper or a collector, there’s a place for you here.

Founder of WinesCanada.com

Hi, I’m Kris. I’m a lifelong storyteller, curious explorer, and the founder of WinesCanada.com. I didn’t grow up on a vineyard or earn a sommelier pin, but I did spend time behind the bar — enough to earn a certificate from Fine Art Bartending and shake up a few good events.

That time taught me something important: drinks bring people together. Whether it’s a crafted cocktail or a glass of wine, they open the door to stories, connection, and shared experiences.

I started WinesCanada.com to help more people discover what Canadian wine is really about. Our country’s wine scene is vibrant, growing, and full of untold stories. This site is a place to explore our regions, meet the people behind the bottles, and experience Canadian wine in all its variety.

Whether you’re wine-curious or wine-savvy, I’m glad you’re here. Let’s raise a glass to what’s growing in our own backyard.

 

Cheers,
Kris Roxas
