It’s definitely a week for wine lovers in Toronto, as Santé: Toronto International Wine Festival official kicks off next Monday with the Landmark Australia tasting at the Park Hyatt, and continues through the week with a different gala dinner or tasting event each night. Also running through the week is the Santé in the City wine dinner series that started this past Tuesday at restaurants such as Amuse Bouche, Pangaea and C5.

In case Santé isn’t enough for the oenophiles, there are a few other wine events happening in the next seven days & nights, including Germany: Wines With Jazz at Roy Thomson Hall, an iYellow Wine Club Social at Reds, and the annual Lifford Grand Tasting charity event at the Eglinton Grand Theatre.
