The National Capital Region has plenty of good bottle shops. Small-batch Canadian wine is still hard to find on a regular shelf, though. Wine Club Canada ships across the country, including every corner of Ottawa and Gatineau. No membership fee, nothing to sign at a store counter.

Each month brings one featured Canadian winery instead of a random grab bag. You get the story behind the label and tasting notes written by a panel of Canadian wine writers. A bottle you would not stumble on at the LCBO.

Some readers pick this up as a Tuesday-night treat. Others use it to finally learn what they like, instead of grabbing whatever's at eye level. If you're just outside the core, our Ontario page and our Toronto page break down what's available closer to you.

Wine subscription Ottawa

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

What's inside your box

Pick a red, white, or mixed subscription. Then choose how many bottles fit your month, from a two-bottle taste to a twelve-bottle haul for a bigger household.

Your box arrives with the winery's story and food pairing notes, enough detail to sound informed at your next dinner party. Even if you're winging it. There's no long-term contract. Pause it, skip a month, or cancel whenever your fridge is already full.

If Ottawa is home base, start with the mixed wine subscription and let the first box do the talking.

The wineries you'll meet

Most months lean on Niagara, home to producers like Bench 1775 Winery and Strewn Winery. Small enough that you won't see their names on a big-box shelf. Some months head west instead, featuring Okanagan producers such as Moon Curser Vineyards or Gold Hill Winery. Both known for grape varieties most Ontario drinkers have never tried, which is sort of the point.

A panel of Canadian wine writers, Tony Aspler among them, weighs in on what makes the final cut. Many of these wineries carry Ontario's VQA seal, a quality standard worth understanding before your next LCBO run.

Every bottle comes from a winery in that month's real rotation, not a stock photo of a vineyard. Our guide to Ontario's best wineries has more on where these labels come from.

Worth a try this month

You don't need to become a wine person to enjoy this. Pick a box, see what shows up, and decide from there. Discover a small Canadian winery you wouldn't have found on your own.

What's in your box

Every box centres on one Canadian winery, chosen by our tasting panel and shipped the month it's featured. Choose red, white, or a mix at checkout. Box sizes run 2, 3, 6, or 12 bottles, whichever suits your kitchen. Past boxes have featured Strewn Winery, built inside a converted 1940s fruit cannery on Lakeshore Road in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Another past pick was Bench 1775 Winery, on Naramata Road above Okanagan Lake in Penticton, BC. Twelve wineries a year, and neither one showed up on a Bank Street shelf first.

Monthly subscription box Ottawa

We ship across the rest of the province too. See our Wine Club Ontario page for delivery details anywhere else, or our Wine Club Toronto page if the city is more your speed.

FAQs Wine Club Ottawa

Does Wine Club Canada ship to Ottawa and Gatineau?

Yes. We ship to Ottawa on the Ontario side and Gatineau on the Quebec side, with someone over nineteen required to sign for the delivery.

Can I cancel or pause my Ottawa subscription anytime?

Yes. Pause, skip a month, or cancel from your account whenever you want. There's no long-term contract.

Can I send a Wine Club Canada box as a gift to someone in Ottawa?

Yes. Choose a gift subscription at checkout and we'll ship it directly to their Ottawa address with no invoice inside.

Why is it hard to find small Canadian wineries in Ottawa specifically?

Ottawa sits split across two liquor systems. The Ontario side runs through the LCBO, which lists close to 670 stores' worth of product for the whole province, per its own count as of August 2026. Cross into Gatineau and it's the SAQ instead, a separate list entirely. A small producer has to clear one gate or the other to reach a shelf here, and most don't bother with both. See the LCBO's own page on how it operates for the full picture.
