A Tasting of Wines from Italy, Montreal
28th Edition

November 1, 2023

This renowned Italian wine tasting series of events is reserved to trade professionals and is organized by the Italian Trade Commission (ITC) offices in Canada. It has started in Vancouver on October 24, then headed to Calgary on October 26, continued to Toronto on October 30, and had finally reached Montreal for this November 1st event at the MARCHÉ BONSECOURS' Salle de Bal et Salle Vieux-Montréal, at  Montreal's historical Old Port.

Over 470 professionals registered for the initial Vancouver edition of the “Tasting Of Wines From Italy” 2023 event series. Over the years the show has become the most anticipated and accredited Italian wine event in Canada and a main one for the Canadian industry as a whole. Overall, more than 3,500 wine agents, representatives from provincial Liquor Boards, and specialized media, opinion leaders, wine collectors and other specialized participants were expected and showed up at the four events.

The vast number of great wines and vintages made it very difficult to choose what to taste and in which order. Yet even the small number of wines tasted indicated the excellence of the Italian wine makers and of their final products.

This Montreal even had stood out by its distinct historical ambiance of the old Marché  Bonsecours' structure and architecture, and by its vast open spaces for the large number of exhibitors and the circulating visitors. 

Food that accompanied the event was also excellent.
