The Living Vine represents premium Biodynamic, Organic and Naturally made wines. Their portfolio is a collection of some of the world's top estates working with the environment to make wines of incredible quality and reputation. Most of the portfolio is certified by a recognized international body or is renowned and respected for the natural winemaking philosophy.
Le Sommelier Wine Agency was founded in 2000 to connect Ontario with amazing producers and premium wines from around the globe. It’s what continues to drive them forward today, 20 years later, with a portfolio of more than 150 wineries across dozens of wine regions. They work closely with restaurants, sommeliers, and collectors across Ontario, as well as with the LCBO, where many of our wines are found.
Since the founding of The Vine in 2000, its goal has never been to be the biggest, most all-encompassing wine agency in the province or the country. Instead, The Vine Agency set out to offer a focused selection of wines that reflect its people's taste and interests. It believes that smaller wineries provide the best source of characterful wines that deserve their attention. They also place a high value on trust: yours.
