Alberta has run the only fully privatized liquor retail system in Canada since 1993. Every liquor store picks its own shelf. That is part of why a small Canadian winery is easy to miss in Calgary, Edmonton or anywhere in between. Our Alberta wine club ships a box from one Canadian winery every month, with no membership fee.

Wine subscription Alberta

We were not satisfied with the local wine selection at Alberta liquor stores, so we created the best wine club in Alberta to help you discover the finest wines Canada has to offer.

Why small Canadian wineries are hard to find in Alberta

The Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) counted 1,622 retail liquor stores in Alberta as of March 2024. A winery that lands on a shelf in Calgary has no guarantee of a spot in Edmonton, let alone Red Deer or Lethbridge. Each listing means winning over another buyer. A small producer may not have the volume to chase them all. A wine club skips the shelf. Our panel of wine experts chooses one Canadian winery each month, and you get the box in Alberta without hunting store to store.

What to pour with Alberta beef

Alberta beef wants a red with some backbone. Cabernet Franc from Ontario's Beamsville Bench has the structure to hold up to a ribeye, and Okanagan Syrah handles smoked brisket, ideally poured slightly cool. Bison suits the same styles if you're branching out from steak night.

Shipping to Alberta

Alberta addresses are covered today. Rules between provinces are changing: in July 2026, nine provincial premiers, Alberta included, agreed to open direct-to-consumer alcohol sales across provincial lines, and that rollout is still under way as of November 2026. None of it changes what already works now, so there's no need to wait.

What's in your box

Every box centres on one Canadian winery, picked by our panel. Box sizes run 2, 3 or 6 bottles. Restock your own rack, or send one to someone else in the province as a gift. Moon Curser Vineyards, a producer on the East Bench above Osoyoos in the South Okanagan, was our August 2026 feature. Reif Estate Winery, on the Niagara Parkway in Niagara-on-the-Lake, featured in January 2025.
