Fall Into Spice Gets a Little Ed!
From time to time, we get requests for private tastings, wine purchasing advice, and wine storage aid, so we thought given this, we'd do something a little different for Fall Into Spice; we're incorporating a Wine Tasting Made Easy live virtual session. ​

We're taking our years of private consumer training sessions and bringing you the must do's of wine tasting in a truncated 60-minute session online.

ABOUT FALL INTO SPICE
ABOUT FALL INTO SPICE
Fall Into Spice is an annual celebration of the diverse cuisines of Canada. Here, we take foods not often highlighted in wine pairing conversations, and we do just that; pair them with wine!
The team behind Fall Into Spice are individuals from the African-Caribbean Diaspora. Our passion is wine, and our heart is in spreading that love of wine to our respective communities.
Our culinary food and wine events allow the community to see how tropical cuisine and wine can be a match made in heaven.
This is a one-of-a-kind culinary event for Toronto as we focus on both food and wine flavour by pairing the wines we love with the spices we love.
​
What is wine if not something to be shared with a community over food, merriment, and togetherness?
​
Fall Into Spice is the sibling event to Spring Into Spice. Both brands are operated under the Spice Food & Wine Group.
​
This is done in support of cognitive diversity in wine.
