The Australian Wine Society of Toronto is hosting its annual celebration of Summer Solstice on the evening of Thursday June 17th. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this year's event will be in virtual mode via ZOOM. 

The evening's fare will be prepared by Chef Gregory of Vintage Conservatory, the same outfit that prepared several of our recent and delicious virtual events. As usual, the meal will be suitably paired with a curated selection of Australian wines presented by our cellar master, Joe Gentile. 

The meal and wine will be delivered to your home(RESTRICTED TO GTA), where you complete the minimal preparation and plating, get comfortable and join us on ZOOM. Virtual "dining" rooms will be available for those of you who want to have a more private and quieter virtual dinner with your regular tablemates.

The evening will begin with a virtual reception on ZOOM, main room opening @ 7:00 p.m.. After some opening greetings, our cellar master, Joe Gentile will give a summary of the wines offered. At this point you can join your friends in your private virtual room.

ALL ORDERS RECEIVED BY JUNE 13th MIDNIGHT WILL BE ELIGBLE FOR A DRAW OF A VINTAGE FROM OUR CELLAR.
