An unforgettable evening of Italian and Mediterranean food, wine and experiences brought hundreds of guests together on Toronto’s waterfront. On October 21, ELLE Gourmet welcomed guests to Queen’s Harbour in Toronto for the third annual Italy & The Med Food & Wine Event, a celebration of the flavours, traditions and pleasures of Mediterranean living.

With the Toronto skyline as a backdrop, the waterfront venue was transformed into a lively gathering place where guests could discover new wines, sample delicious food and enjoy a series of experiences inspired by Italy and the Mediterranean.
From glasses of Prosecco to freshly made gelato, the evening offered plenty of reasons to explore, indulge and linger a little longer.

A Taste of Italy and the Mediterranean
Food was at the heart of the celebration, with a delicious selection of Italian and Mediterranean-inspired bites served throughout the evening. Guests moved between tasting stations, discovering new flavours and revisiting familiar favourites, while wines and refreshing drinks kept the conversation flowing. The evening was designed to encourage discovery, with something new to taste or experience around every corner.

More Than a Food and Wine Event
Of course, there was more to the evening than what was on the menu.
Guests could ring for Prosecco at a special activation presented with Ruffino, indulge in sweet treats and capture memories on the “cover” of ELLE Gourmet.
A gelato cart, sundae cart and other playful experiences added to the festive atmosphere, making the evening as much about the experience of being there as the food and wine itself.

A Night to Remember
From the first arrivals to the final glasses raised, Italy & The Med brought together food lovers, creators and friends of ELLE Gourmet for an evening of great food, memorable experiences and good company.
Thank you to our participating partners, sponsors and everyone who joined us for this year’s celebration. We look forward to welcoming you back next year.
