Happy Lunar New Year

Inniskillin Cabernet Franc Icewine

Our expertly curated wines are perfect for gifting and for wishing loved ones health and good fortune for the year ahead.

If you’re asking yourself “what are the best gifts are for Lunar New Year?”, know that the best presents should symbolize luck and prosperity. And if in doubt, choose a gift in red or gold – or something wrapped in those auspicious colours. 

Taking that colour cue, we believe wine always makes a thoughtful gift. Icewine (sometimes dubbed “liquid gold” by winemakers and enthusiasts alike) and bold, prestigious red wines, are our chosen solution for Lunar New Year gifting. They’re also ideal for serving at the big New Year feasts that many families host to welcome the coming year.  

To help with this gifting and hosting occasion, we’ve selected a few exceptional wines to herald a happy and healthy new year.
