I present you a holiday gift guide for the wine lover with every bottle opener, fancy gadget, and crystal glass. Skip the classic bottle of red and try something they’ll love (and didn’t even know they needed)! Let’s dive in:
1. A Winery Tour—Somewhere New or One of Their Local Faves
Surprise them with a tour of a new winery or gift them a trip to one of their favourite local spots. Not sure where to start? Try Two Sisters Vineyard for an experience as luxurious as their wines. It’s a gift that promises memories as well as wine!

2. Coravin Wine Preservation System
For those who like to sip their favourite wines slowly (or just want to enjoy a glass without committing to the whole bottle), the Coravin system is a dream. It keeps wine fresh for weeks, meaning they can savour that special vintage over time. Pro tip: Check out their best sale of the year this Black Friday!
3. Upgrade Their Wine Glass Collection
You can’t go wrong with a beautiful set of wine glasses, and for style and versatility, my go-to is the Gabriel Universal Wine Glass. They’re chic, elegant, and perfect for almost any type of wine—ideal for someone ready to step up their glassware game.

4. Personalized Wine Glasses
Everyone loves a little personal touch. For the sentimental wine lover, I love to gift glasses engraved with initials, a memorable date, or a favourite memory to bring a smile to their face with every sip.
5. Hostess Essentials—New Linens, Books & More!
For the friend who loves to host, gift a little home upgrade. I like to shop locally in Toronto for unique finds they might not pick up. Check out River Crossing Shop for beautiful linens, V de V for fresh and new hostess gifts, and Socco Living for everything from cocktail or wine coffee table books to stylish homewares.
6. A Non-Alcoholic Bottle of French Bloom

For the wine lover who’s exploring alcohol-free options or loves an excellent, sober-friendly choice, French Bloom is a beautiful alternative. Made with organic ingredients, it’s festive, refreshing, and elegant—a thoughtful gift for mindful sippers.
Happy gifting! With any of these picks, your wine-loving friends and family will raise a glass to you this season. Cheers! 🥂
