Watch Ontario’s best sommeliers compete live for the title of Best Ontario Sommelier 2026.

The Best Ontario Sommelier Competition (BOSC) is CAPS Ontario’s premier competition, now held in the Association de la Sommellerie Internationale (ASI) format. After a day of theory, blind tasting and service exams at the Vintage Conservatory, the top competitors take the stage at the TIFF Lightbox for the live championship finals.

Your ticket includes:

A walk-around tasting with pours from our sponsor partners, featuring wines and sake from around the world
Food throughout the evening (passed canapés, food stations, grazing boards, etc.,)
The live championship finals, where finalists face blind tasting, service and hospitality challenges in front of the audience
A silent auction
The awards presentation and crowning of Best Ontario Sommelier 2026

It’s a night with sommeliers, producers, importers, hospitality professionals and wine lovers, and one of the year’s best chances to connect with the people shaping Ontario’s wine scene. All proceeds support CAPS Ontario’s education programs and scholarships for aspiring sommeliers.
