A members’ club with two locations in Toronto, including one on the Upper Level at Yorkville Village, Vintage Conservatory is a destination for oenophiles looking to securely store wine and connect with like-minded peers. Vintage Conservatory—founded in 2010 just outside of the financial district, on Lombard Street—offers members access to climate-controlled wine cellars, private tastings, winemaker dinners and intimate networking spaces. Members feel like they’re hosting guests in their own living room, enjoying a bottle from their private collection—except that they can access chef-prepared dishes and pairing menus, and there won’t be any clean up after. “You have a place to come in, wind down, meet your friends, meet your family, pair a beautiful dinner with the bottle,” says Lee Stein, Vintage Conservatory’s Director of Operations, adding that the clubs are welcoming spaces where you can comfortably enjoy new and rare vintages from your collection.
