Ready, Set, Save…
This Sunday is a milestone for KWM, as it is Kensington Wine Market’s 30th Birthday. Our doors opened on Friday, May 15, 1992, two-and-a-half years before the provincial government fully privatized the sale of alcohol. We were founded by Nancy Carten, with the help of some investors, as a wine-only boutique, which operated independent from the government liquor stores.
$10 went a lot further in 1992 than it does today…
Over the years the business transitioned from a small neighbourhood shop to a world-renowned destination for wine, whisky and beer lovers. While it has grown and evolved, and our founder has retired, the shop is in good hands. We are still dedicated to our craft with a focus on service, selection and expertise, and we remain rooted in the community we call home.
As we do every year, we are celebrating another trip around the sun with our annual Birthday Sale. The sale starts at 10 AM today (Friday May 13) in-store, and is already live online. There are hundreds of wines discounted by 25% or more, and almost everything in stock is on sale!
Thank you for 30 great years!
Happy Hunting!

A good deal just got even better… The importers for Tomatin found another stash of the Tomatin Contrast, and while stocks last you can buy it for half price!
This is a very interesting 2x half bottle release from Tomatin Distillery which shows the difference between ex-bourbon and ex-sherry barrels and their influence on Scotch. The disitillery vatted whiskies from 4 decades, and then further matured it in ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry before bottling at 46%. That in itself is very cool. The fact that some of the whisky is from the 70s takes things up a notch.
You need a set of this, or better yet two!

30th Anniversary Whisky Festival Night 1
(Night 2 is Sold Out!)
· May 19, 2022

· $80.00
· Only 10 Spots Left!
Our Fall and Spring Single Malt Festivals pre-Covid were – to say the least – a hot ticket. Often they would sell out so quickly that we felt compelled to offer a second night. And given that Covid isn’t completely behind us yet, it doesn’t feel right cramming 100 of our whisky friends into the shop just yet. Accordingly, we are offering two more or less identical 30th Anniversary Whisky Festivals, one week apart, for a smaller crowd than usual, to give as many of our whisky friends as possible a chance to attend. As always our neighbour Peasant cheese will be lining your stomachs with delicious cheese, charcuterie, sausage rolls, and other treats! Both Festivals are limited to 70 participants and are asking people to only register for one date or the other, and not both, out of respect for other customers. Thursday, May 19, 7 PM – 9 PM.
