History

Started in 2005 by "Wine Geek" Jeremy Day, cafe Taste was Toronto's original Wine & Cheese Bar, with a focus on sustainable and locally-sourced cheeses and wines. Modeled after a European cafe, even the intimate wine garden patio was crafted from reclaimed local materials.

Over the years, Jeremy's locally focused wine list earned him the VQA Restaurant Gold medal of achievement for 4 years in a row, also earning the VQA Promoter of the Year Award with his Wine Tours and Annual Ontario Wine Fair hosted in June and January.

Getting increasingly busy with tutoured tastings and corporate wine events, when approached in late 2011 to sell this Parkdale gem of a destination spot, Jeremy Day opted to modify his current business model and streamline to VQA-inspired events only, and cafe Taste: EVENTS was born!
