A Seat at HER Table: A Sommelier-Led Wine & Food Pairing
An empowHER Experience
After the incredible success of our 2025 dinner series, Seat at HER Table is expanding in 2026 with curated dinners and lunches spotlighting brands that embody the empowHER values.
An unforgettable evening of connection, conversation, and thoughtfully paired wine and food - hosted at one of Toronto’s most iconic women-owned spaces.
We’re partnering with an incredible Canadian, women-founded brand that is absolutely on fire and while we’re keeping the official reveal for the New Year, trust us when we say: this is one you won’t want to miss. The founder and team will be joining us in person to kick off a raw, honest conversation about building, growing, and scaling a modern brand - the wins, the challenges, and everything in between.
The evening begins in Downtown Winery’s intimate Tank Room, where guests will gather for a guided, fireside-style conversation led by the brand’s founder and team. From there, we’ll transition into a beautifully curated seated dinner, featuring intentional wine and food pairings designed to spark conversation and connection around the table.
Hosted at Downtown Winery, a family-owned Toronto staple run by incredible women, this setting is the perfect backdrop for an empowHER evening. Known for its warmth, creativity, and exceptional wines, the space is exactly what A Seat at HER Table is all about.
As always, this experience is designed for women who value meaningful connection, real conversation, and shared moments around the table.
