WHY GUSTO GRAPES?

If you like the unique, the accessible, the classic and yet something on the edge, you're in the right place. Gusto Grapes represents wineries from France, Spain & Italy with history, built by families, by legacies. With traditions come know-how but with evolution comes innovation. We work with women paving a path, with the younger generations stepping into the shoes of their ancestors, with those who have left the business world to follow their passion. We choose producers who focus on sustainability and evolve with a changing climate and in many respects, a new post-pandemic world.

We like to match-make. And teach. And with enthusiasm, help our clients appreciate what's in their glass. Join us on this adventure of history, of place, and of taste.

Having studied extensively (George Brown College, Somm Factory (CMS), WSET 3, Canadian Wine Scholar and French Wine Scholar) and traveled to countless wine regions to learn through immersion, I finally took the leap and started Gusto Grapes in early 2020 (3 weeks before covid restrictions incidentally). I am an enthusiast, I love to tell stories of the gorgeous stuff in the bottle and how best to enjoy it.

Although Gusto Grapes is a boutique-sized portfolio of wines we know and deeply love, we have a shopping mall sized list of contacts so if we can help you find something, please ask. We are happy to integrate your favourite wines, preferred regions and styles into just about any format of an event. Imagination (and a licensed facility...sigh), are the only limits.

Our Family Of Producers

From multi-generation family-owned wineries, either certified organic or practising with a low-intervention mindset, the wines created by these extraordinary producers belong on your dinner table (or patio, or back-yard) and in your cellar (or wine fridge, or bedroom closet... we don't judge). Want to meet any of these families? Reach out before your upcoming travels and we are happy to make an introduction. And sign up for our Field Notes to get VIP early access to winemaker events.
