To highlight the quality and authenticity of wine made from 100% locally grown Ontario grapes, Wines of Ontario launched the Pleasure to Meet You campaign.
Focusing on helping people find wines that match their style, taste preferences, and desired drinking occasions, the Ontario VQA campaign personifies popular wine types. While sparkling wines are likened to entertainers that bring excitement and effervescence wherever they go, Gamay is positioned as a versatile companion for both casual BBQs and formal events.
On social media, Wines of Ontario followers will see Spotify playlists and gift lifts curated to fit the vibe of each varietal. In this spirit, wine lovers can take a short quiz to be matched with 10 eligible Ontario wines on the campaign site.
