The Merchant Vintner Ltd. is a dynamic company, based in Ontario, Canada, founded on the basic principle of searching out good wines that give good value to our customers. We insist on working with wine producers who are passionate about their wines because we have found that we share the same values and ideals.
We have an exceptional portfolio of superb wines and wine producers. Their wines are available in the LCBO’s “Vintages” (Speciality) Department, and more and more through the LCBO’s “Consignment (Private Order) Program” – which allows us to sell wines directly (not available at LCBO’s retail network) to both restaurants and our private clientele.
What began as a single owner operation in 1991 has now grown to seven staff who cover all aspects of our business dealings. So, if you are a wine producer seeking for an agent to represent you in Ontario, a restaurant owner who wishes to match our wines with your menu or a private customer looking for enjoyable wines to drink at home in good company — The Merchant Vintner can and will be delighted to help you.
