Summary

In January 2018, Toronto and East York Community Council approved a request from Macedo Winery to obtain a Manufacturer's Limited Liquor Sale licence, which would allow for a "sales by the glass" permit for their brewery at 30 Ossington Avenue.


In following up with the AGCO, Macedo Winery was informed that they need to operate their Ossington Avenue location under a different name than their already existing Dufferin Street location.


Macedo Winery on Ossington Avenue is now called Downtown Winery.
