These awards recognize restaurants with notable wine lists and reflect the combined opinions of more than 515,000 restaurant reviews submitted by verified OpenTable diners for more than 2,000 restaurants in Canada. Featuring restaurants offering exclusive vintages from world-renowned European vineyards to those with a focus on wine from the local cellars of the Okanagan Valley and Niagara Peninsula, this list highlights some of the country's best wine lists, including Sooke Harbour House in Sooke, British Columbia, and Raymonds in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Ontario has the greatest number of restaurants included with 20, followed by British Columbia with 13, and Alberta with seven. Québec has six restaurants recognized, while Nova Scotia has two. Manitoba and Newfoundland and Labrador are also represented on this list. "As Canada's winemaking industry flourishes and a growing number of Canadians are choosing wine as their drink of choice1, many restaurants are thoughtfully curating wine lists designed to complement their menu and expand diners' palates," said Caroline Potter, Chief Dining Officer, OpenTable. "From establishments with a seasoned sommelier to those serving a more casual glass of rosé, these restaurants are recognized by guests for their commitment to delicious food and an outstanding wine selection." The 50 Best Restaurants for Wine Lovers list is generated solely from more than 515,000 restaurant reviews collected from verified OpenTable diners between August 1, 2016, and July 31, 2017. All restaurants with a minimum "overall" score and number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration. Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to the percentage of reviews for which "notable wine list" was selected as a special feature. Based on this methodology, the 50 Best Restaurants for Wine Lovers in Canada according to OpenTable diners are as follows (in alphabetical order): 50 Best Restaurants for Wine Lovers in Canada 529 Wellington – Winnipeg, Manitoba Hillside Winery & Bistro – Penticton, British Columbia Inn on the Twenty – Jordan, Ontario Kitchen76 at Two Sisters Vineyards – Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon – Montréal – Montréal, Québec La Chaumiere – Calgary, Alberta Langdon Hall Country House Hotel & Spa – Cambridge, Ontario Le Baccara – Casino du Lac Leamy – Gatineau, Québec Le Cellier du Roi Par Jérôme Ferrer – Bromont, Québec Le Club Chasse et Peche – Montréal, Québec Liquidity Bistro – Okanagan Falls, British Columbia Neros Steakhouse – Caesars Windsor – Windsor, Ontario North and Navy – Ottawa, Ontario Opus Restaurant – Toronto, Ontario Peller Estates Winery Restaurant – Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario Pullman – Montréal, Québec Quails' Gate Estate Winery – Old Vines Restaurant – Kelowna, British Columbia Oxley Estate Winery – Harrow, Ontario Raymonds – St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador Red Ox Inn – Edmonton, Alberta Restaurant at Peninsula Ridge – Beamsville, Ontario The Restaurant at Redstone – Beamsville, Ontario Rustica Steakhouse at Silvertip Golf Resort – Canmore, Alberta Sonora Room Restaurant – Burrowing Owl Estate Winery – Oliver, British Columbia Sooke Harbour House – Sooke, British Columbia Sterling Restaurant – Gatineau, Québec Tap Restaurant – Surrey, British Columbia The Terrace – Mission Hill Family Estate Winery – West Kelowna, British Columbia Terrafina at Hester Creek by RauDZ – Oliver, British Columbia Treadwell Farm to Table Cuisine – Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario Trius Winery Restaurant – Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario Twisted Lemon – Cayuga, Ontario Tzin Wine & Tapas – Edmonton, Alberta Vibo Restaurant – Toronto, Ontario Vineland Estates Winery Restaurant – Vineland, Ontario Vineyard Terrace Restaurant at CedarCreek Estate Winery – Kelowna, British Columbia Waterfront Wines – Kelowna, British Columbia Wildfire Steakhouse Waterloo – Waterloo, Ontario The complete list may also be viewed at https://www.opentable.com/m/canada-best-wine-list.
