Wine enthusiasts in Toronto are in for a treat as Alsace Rocks! Wine Week makes its grand debut from October 23 to 31. This exciting event will take place in over 16 upscale restaurants and bars across the city, each offering a curated selection of four unique cuvées that showcase the very best of Alsace.
Rockin’s Wines
Tucked away in the northeastern corner of France, Alsace is the rockstar of wine regions, boasting 13 different soil types that make its wines truly one-of-a-kind. Thanks to the Vosges Mountains, Alsace enjoys a dry climate with plenty of sunshine, perfect for crafting wines that are as complex and aromatic as they are balanced. Stretching over 15,500 hectares, this green pioneer is leading the charge in organic and biodynamic winemaking. Alsace is a white wine wonderland, featuring stars like Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Gewurztraminer, alongside the juicy Pinot Noir. Its wines are aromatic, unoaked, and dry, making them perfect for food pairings. And let’s not forget the sparkling Crémant d’Alsace and the sweet delights of Vendanges Tardives (late harvest wines). With winemakers who are as passionate about their craft as they are about preserving the land, Alsace is truly rocking the wine world!
A Week of Wine Exploration
During Alsace Rocks Wine Week, each participating venue will offer a unique wine menu that highlights the diversity and richness of Alsace’s offerings, showcasing its great food and wine pairing potential at the table.
