There’s a new wine club in town – and this one is for the ladies.
Introducing Les Dames Cru, Toronto's premier wine club exclusively for women. Established March 2023, the club was born out of a desire for a women-led and women-focused space within the often male-dominated world of wine.
Les Dames Cru was founded by a group of eleven women who decided to create a space where they could sip and swirl, as they explore their passion for wine on their own terms.
With a shared enthusiasm for wine and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, these pioneers united like-minded women to create Les Dames Cru (full list of founding members below). Since its inception, the club has flourished into a vibrant community of wine enthusiasts, all eager to explore and appreciate the beauty of wine.
Each month, Les Dames Cru members gather for their signature wine tasting meals, an interactive and informative experience that tantalizes the palate and ignites the senses. Hosting duties are shared among a few individuals, who craft a delectable meal to complement the chosen wines. Every member is assigned a different wine to bring, encouraging diversity, discovery, and discussion within the group. A sommelier is in attendance to walk the ladies through the wines.
In its early stages, each tasting meal has centered around wines from a specific region, delving deep into the nuances and stories behind each vintage. As Les Dames Cru continues to evolve, the group is setting its sights on expanding their horizons, embracing wines from diverse regions and celebrating the rich tapestry of flavors from around the world.
Les Dames Cru is more than just a wine club; it is a celebration of camaraderie, empowerment, and a shared passion for the art of winemaking. Together, these women are breaking barriers, savoring the journey, and toasting to a future filled with new discoveries and endless possibilities.
Cheers to the spirit of Les Dames Cru, where women reign supreme in the world of wine.
