Taste. Learn. Enjoy. New Fall Events! 

Author: Megan Wellinghurst  | 

Fall is always an exciting season at Willow Park, bringing the arrival of our Fall 2026 Events Calendar and more than 55 opportunities to Taste, Learn and Enjoy. 

This season’s calendar explores some of the world’s most celebrated wine regions, with festivals dedicated to France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Bordeaux and Champagne. You will also find intimate wine and cheese evenings, approachable TasteDay Thursday events and exceptional masterclasses featuring truly remarkable bottles. Long standing favourites such as Whisky in the Warehouse and Beer Bash return to Calgary, bringing together outstanding producers, delicious food and the lively atmosphere these signature events are known for. 

On October 17, the doors open to the 33rd Charity Wine Auction: Midnight Speakeasy at our main store in Calgary. Inspired by the hidden glamour and discreet decadence of the speakeasy era, this unforgettable evening will feature exceptional wine, inspired cuisine, live entertainment and spirited bidding in support of the Calgary Co-op Community Foundation. For 33 years, this event has brought our community together through generosity and a shared commitment to giving back. 

Those interested in taking their knowledge further can join us for WSET Level 2 in Wines beginning this September in Calgary. Registration is also open for WSET Level 3 in Wines, beginning in February 2027 in Calgary and WSET Level 1 Wines beginning in February 2027 in Edmonton. Whether you are exploring wine for personal enjoyment or pursuing professional certification, our qualified Trusted Experts are proud to help you build your knowledge and tasting confidence. 

Fall also brings exciting news for Bordeaux enthusiasts. The highly anticipated 2023 vintage is arriving, offering beautifully balanced, classically styled wines with impressive quality and value. Collectors can also look ahead through our 2025 Bordeaux Futures program, with a carefully selected collection now available for pre-purchase ahead of its fall 2028 release. 

As holiday celebrations begin to fill the calendar, our Gift Room Trusted Experts are ready to make giving effortless. Whether you are choosing something special for a loved one or arranging gifts for clients, teams or valued partners, we can help curate the perfect selection and coordinate presentation and delivery. Businesses can also access dedicated discounts and consultation through our Corporate Accounts Program, with Corporate Concierge Samantha Nelmes available to guide each order from start to finish. 

Be sure to join Cellar Club, our FREE loyalty program, and subscribe to our emails for early access to limited releases and some of our most anticipated promotions, including Vino-Vember and Black Friday. Members also enjoy exclusive pricing on Trusted Expert selections, special offers and event invitations throughout the year. Shop more than 5,000 wines, spirits, beers and more online, with free local delivery on qualifying orders over $200 within Calgary and Edmonton city limits. 

However you choose to enjoy the season, we hope this calendar inspires you to discover something new, return to an old favourite and raise a glass with good company.
