Sell your wine directly to consumers — online
Winery e-commerce built for Ontario's 2026 rules
Since January 1, 2026, the AGCO permits online alcohol sales integrated right into your store — no more separate section. We build real bilingual online stores for Ontario wineries, cideries and breweries: catalogue, checkout, age-verification flows and wine club tools, from $8,900 CAD.
The rules changed. Most winery websites haven't.
Ontario's direct-to-consumer landscape moved in 2026, and the wineries that treat their website as a real sales channel — not a brochure with a phone number — are the ones positioned to take that demand.
Since January 1, 2026, the AGCO permits online alcohol sales integrated into your store — the old requirement to keep alcohol sales in a separate section is gone.
The Ontario–Nova Scotia direct-to-consumer agreement signed in March 2026 opens the door to interprovincial DTC — and wineries with a working online store are first in line.
VQA Ontario lists roughly 200 wineries. When a visitor gets home and searches for your label, either your store takes that sale — or a competitor's does.
A brochure site with a PDF order form is not e-commerce: no live inventory, no club management, no customer data, no repeat sales.
What your winery's online store includes
Everything a direct-to-consumer channel needs — commerce, compliance-aware flows, club tools and bilingual delivery.
A True Online Store, Not a Brochure
Full product catalogue with vintages, tasting notes and live inventory, a proper cart and checkout, pickup and shipping options, and order management your cellar-door team can actually run. Built to sell, not just to look pretty.
Age-Verification & Responsible-Sale Flows
We build age gates, checkout confirmation steps and adult-signature-on-delivery prompts into the buying flow as standard capabilities. We build the flows — you confirm licensing specifics with the AGCO.
Wine Club & Repeat Orders
Subscriptions, member allocations and member pricing, plus email flows that bring tasting-room visitors back to buy again. Your list, your customers, your data — not a marketplace's.
Bilingual EN / FR from Day One
Hand-written Canadian French alongside your English store — product pages, checkout and transactional emails included. Ready for francophone visitors, and for the day your marketing reaches Quebec.
Built to Sell — Proven in Europe
The platform behind this offer rebuilt a European e-commerce client's store and funnel: +240% online sales with a 4.8x return on ad spend. Those results are proven in Europe — and that's the execution standard your store gets.
Niagara-Based, On Your Doorstep
We're based in St. Catharines, in the middle of Ontario wine country. We can walk your vineyard, taste the product and meet your team in person — then serve wineries, cideries and breweries across Ontario.
A European e-commerce client
Proven in Europe · E-commerce executionThis is a European project, shown only as proof that we can build and grow online stores at a high level — it is not a winery and not a Canadian client.
We rebuilt the storefront and acquisition funnel for a European e-commerce client: online sales grew +240% with a 4.8x return on ad spend. The same platform and playbook now power direct-to-consumer stores for Ontario producers.
“The 2026 rules opened a door, but a licence doesn't sell wine — a working store does. Our job is the commerce side: a fast store, honest buying flows with age verification built in, and a club your best customers actually join. The licensing specifics stay between you and the AGCO.”

Three things changed the math for Ontario producers: since January 1, 2026 the AGCO permits online alcohol sales integrated into your store (previously a separate section was required); the Ontario–Nova Scotia direct-to-consumer agreement was signed in March 2026; and with roughly 200 wineries listed by VQA Ontario, the shelf is crowded — the producers who own their online channel first will own the customer relationships.
We build the e-commerce flows — age verification, responsible-sale steps, checkout. Confirm licensing specifics with the AGCO.
Winery E-commerce in Ontario — FAQ
Since January 1, 2026, the AGCO permits online alcohol sales integrated directly into a store — previously, alcohol sales had to live in a separate section. We build the e-commerce side: the store, the checkout, and the age-verification and responsible-sale flows. We are not a law firm and don't give legal advice, so confirm the licensing specifics for your operation with the AGCO.
Our bilingual e-commerce builds start at $8,900 CAD. That's a genuine 'from' price for a working store: product catalogue, cart and checkout, age-verification flow, pickup and shipping options, and English plus Canadian French content. Wine club subscriptions and advanced integrations are scoped in your fixed written quote. Ongoing care is optional: maintenance from $149/month, SEO from $1,500/month.
Interprovincial direct-to-consumer shipping is evolving: Ontario and Nova Scotia signed a DTC agreement in March 2026, a first step many producers are watching closely. We build your store so shipping rules and destinations can be configured as the landscape develops — and you confirm what your licence permits with the AGCO before opening a new destination.
Yes. The same platform — catalogue, checkout, age-verification flows, subscriptions — works for craft breweries, cideries and distilleries. Niagara's craft beverage scene is exactly the kind of business this solution was designed for.
We won't pretend we do. Our track record is European and anonymized — for example, a European e-commerce client whose online sales grew +240% with a 4.8x ROAS after we rebuilt their store and funnel. We label those results 'proven in Europe' because that's where they were earned. What you get in Ontario is that same execution, from a team based in St. Catharines.
Yes. Recurring club shipments, member-only pricing and allocations, and email flows that keep members engaged between releases. The club runs on your store with your data — so every renewal strengthens your channel, not a third-party platform's.
