North Shore Wine Society: Looking ahead to year 2!

Year one taught us a lot about what makes an evening truly memorable. Great wine helps. So does an exceptional chef, a thoughtful pairing, and a setting like Elmhirst's Resort on Rice Lake.

Year two of the North Shore Wine Society is coming: four new events, new partners, and new reasons to gather. Sign up now and be the first to know what's on the calendar. elmhirst.ca/wine-cellar/

North Shore Wine Society Highlight: The Community

The Summer Fresh Dinner. The Hunter Dinner. Cozy by the Fire. Her Night.
Four very different evenings. One thing in common: the people in the room who made them unforgettable.

The North Shore Wine Society isn't just about great wine. It's about gathering with people who love it as much as you do.

Year two has four new events on the calendar. We'd love to see you there. elmhirst.ca/wine-cellar/

North Shore Wine Society Highlight: The Food

Beet salad with duck lardons. Creamy pasta with locally raised quail. A venison chop. Strawberries served in the tradition of a strawberry social.

At the North Shore Wine Society, the food is never an afterthought. Every menu tells the story of the season, the region, and the people who grow and cook it.

Four dinners. Four menus worth remembering. Sign up to be at the table in 2026. elmhirst.ca/wine-cellar/

The North Shore Wine Society - Origin Story

A year ago, we gathered for the first time on the shores of Rice Lake, not quite sure what the North Shore Wine Society would become. Fifty guests. A four-course summer menu. Exceptional Ontario wine. And something that felt, from the very first pour, like the beginning of something special.

Year one is officially in the books.

Happy Mother’s Day! We wish you all a wonderful day. Thank you to all the mothers we have and the mothers we claim as our own. We appreciate you!

Meet Martina, the mother of this resort. She is an amazing mother, whose love goes beyond her three children. You can find her doing treatments at the spa, collecting eggs from the chickens, tending to the bees, gardening and walking her dog Toby! She is a bright light on a cloudy day and courage when you’re having doubts.

Being a mother, both new and experienced, is hard work. It comes from the heart and it’s every second of every day. So, to all the mothers - today is your day. You deserve it every day!

Taste of the Seasons!
We say we want local, seasonal food, but do we actually choose it when it counts? Chef Jeff Curtis tackles the real paradox of seasonal eating in this issue, and it's the kind of honest take that stays with you. 🌱 In the April NSWS newsletter now.
