Drinking in Canada

Alcohol rules and retail arrangements vary by province and territory. Regional drinks offer a better guide to what to try: local beer, Ontario and British Columbia wine, or Canadian whisky.

Why go

A visit to a brewpub can reveal a local beer scene that a national lager cannot, while wine regions around Niagara and in British Columbia give a reason to build tasting into a regional trip. Retail and legal details depend on where you are travelling.

Useful to know

  • Check the current legal drinking age and sales rules for each province or territory on your route.
  • For wine, plan around the Niagara region or British Columbia's Okanagan rather than treating wine as a uniform national experience.
  • If crossing the border with alcohol, verify current allowance and declaration rules with Canadian authorities.
