The University Club of Toronto Wine Circle is comprised of Club members who share a common enthusiasm for wine.
Our regular wine tastings are held approximately once per month (excluding July and August). Each tasting focuses on a particular wine-related theme, and is intended to provide an engaging and educational experience for Club members and their guests.
Each member of the Club is also a member of the UCT Wine Club, to whom specially selected private wine orders are made available several times per year. Please see the Members portion of this site to view special offers that are currently available to the Wine Club. (Sign in with your username and password to access the Members' portion of the site).
