The Ontario Wine Appellation Authority offers a free 30-minute introductory course on Ontario’s VQA (Vintners Quality Alliance) wine appellations — it’s a useful starting point for anyone wanting to learn about Canadian-produced wine.
The course covers Ontario’s three primary viticultural areas, what makes each one distinctive, and why certain grapes thrive where they do. It also explains the role of the Ontario Wine Appellation Authority itself: how it administers the VQA program and enforces the labelling rules that protect authentic wines of origin.
When you’ve finished the videos in the course, an optional quiz lets you check how much you’ve learned.
