a private evening at ivy.
your next team night? we have an idea.
after hours at Ivy.
great wine. beautiful food. & an evening created entirely around you.
together with Julie Garton of JG Wine Co., we're opening Ivy. after hours for private wine experiences designed for teams, clients & groups looking for something a little more special.
the lights come down. the glasses come out. food starts making its way from the Ivy. kitchen.
& Julie takes your group on a journey through a selection of wines chosen specifically for the evening.
it's intimate. social. a little unexpected.
& most importantly, it feels like a genuinely great night out.
you will be hosted by Julie Garton, founder of JG Wine Co., an Advanced Sommelier with the Court of Master Sommeliers & Certified Italian Wine Ambassador.
Julie has spent years creating & leading wine programs at some of Toronto's most celebrated hospitality destinations, including Four Seasons Hotel Toronto & Liberty Entertainment Group.
for one evening, she brings that to your group at Ivy.
Julie will personally curate the wines, build the theme & take everyone through what's being poured—the places, producers, grapes & stories that make each bottle worth discovering.
you taste. you compare. you find a favourite.
you disagree about the favourite.
someone asks a question. another bottle gets opened.
& somewhere along the way, a group of colleagues starts feeling a lot less like a group of colleagues.
make the night yours.
maybe you want Champagne & sparkling wines from around the world. maybe you want to spend the evening travelling through Italy.
maybe it's the classics of France, New World icons, hidden gems, or a particular region your group has always wanted to discover.
or maybe you don't want to choose at all.
just tell Julie a little about your group & let her surprise you.
every evening can have its own story.
the wine is selected around it. the Ivy. kitchen creates food to accompany it.
& the evening unfolds from there.
no boardroom. no name tags.
no awkward team-building exercises.
just a beautiful space after hours, glasses on the table, food coming from the kitchen & something genuinely interesting to experience together.
it can be polished enough for your best clients. relaxed enough for your team. intimate enough for your leadership. & special enough for the occasion you've been trying to find the right place for.
team socials
client evenings
leadership gatherings
milestones
holiday celebrations
or simply getting everyone out of the office.
Julie brings the wine. Ivy. creates the night.
Julie & JG Wine Co. take care of the wine experience—from the concept & sourcing to personally hosting your group throughout the evening.
Ivy. takes care of everything surrounding it. the space. the food. the hospitality. the atmosphere.
& all those little details that turn a tasting into an evening.
for the person organizing it, we want this part to be beautifully simple.
tell us who you're bringing. tell us when. tell us what you're celebrating.
we'll build the experience from there.
curated wine
selected & hosted by Julie Garton, Advanced Sommelier.

something different is waiting after hours.
your colleagues already know Ivy. for their morning coffee, their lunch, or that quick afternoon break.
now invite them back when the doors close.
the coffee cups make way for wine glasses.
the work day is over.
& ivy. becomes yours for the evening.
you bring the team. we create the night.
