The Grand Cru Wine Society
Fine Wine Tasting in Calgary
Welcome to the Grand Cru Wine Society, where novice wine lovers through connoisseurs gather together to celebrate the art of fine wine tasting. Thriving in the heart of Calgary, Alberta since 1985, our Society offers a unique haven for those who appreciate the complexities, aromas, and flavours that only fine wines can offer. We provide our members exceptional experiences through intricately curated fine wine and food pairing events. Whether you’re seeking refined Bordeaux blends, fabulous Super Tuscans, bold Australian Shiraz, or elegant Burgundies, just to name a few, our extensive wine cellar holds a cornucopia of fine wines to explore, learn about, and enjoy.
Our Mission
At the Grand Cru Society, we believe that wine is more than a beverage; it’s a journey. Our mission is to create an exclusive community where members can explore, learn about, and savour some of the world’s most exquisite wines. Whether you’re a seasoned sommelier or just beginning your vinous adventure, we cater to all levels of experience and expertise.
