Public Tastings
Thursday, October 29th
Join us on Thursday October 29 for an evening with special guest and wine writer, Michael Godel. In his newly released book ‘The Next Rooster’, Godel tells the story of the families of Chianti Classico. Through 44 essays, he explores Tuscan culture and introduces his readers to the next generation shaping the future of this historic wine region.
“Rather than presenting a chronology of wine history, ‘The Next Rooster’ tells a human story exploring succession, adapatation, and the enduring connection between family and land.”
This will be an exclusively red wine event showcasing superb examples of Sangiovese from the hills of Chianti Classico. Included in the tasting will be Metrovino’s exclusive, Castagnoli, as well as other outstanding estates represented by Partridge Wine Imports, Olivier Brands, Boutique Wines, Dream Wines and Renaissance Wine Merchants.
Date: Thursday October 29
Time: 5:30pm - 7pm
Price: $70 (includes a copy of The Next Rooster by Michael Godel)
If you are unable to attend and call prior to one week of the event then we will give you store credit for the amount paid. There will be no refund or credit given within one week of the event. You are more than welcome, however, to send another adult in your place.
Thursday, November 5th
We are honoured that for 30 years, we’ve been able to support and promote the producers and wines that we believe in. We value these connections and are humbled that our friends and customers share our interest in the story behind a bottle of wine.
Join us to celebrate our winegrowing partners and Metrovino’s All-Stars, from the veterans whose labels have lined our shelves for decades to the newest members of the family. Every few weeks, we will host a casual and intimate stand-up tasting showcasing the four pillars of Metrovino: France, Germany, Spain and Italy.
6:30pm - 8:30pm
Thursday, November 26th
On November 26, we're celebrating not only our 30th birthday, but the beautiful people who helped us get here (namely you). Of course we’re celebrating the only way we know how — by pulling corks! A lot of corks…
In collaboration with the Lougheed House Conservation Society, we’ve planned an evening of sips, snacks and socializing. The Metrovinians will be on hand to pour wines from across our entire portfolio, spotlighting the producers who shaped who we are today. Expect the classics, Metrovino cult favourites, esoteric gems, and whatever ridiculous things we manage to scrounge up that are begging to be opened.
Location: Lougheed House - 707 13 Ave SW, Calgary
Date: Thursday November 26
Time: Doors open 6:30pm
