Vintners Quality Alliance

Vintners Quality Alliance

The Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA) is an Appellation of Origin system by which consumers can identify wines of Canada based on the origin of the grapes from which they are produced.  With the VQA system, Canada joins other leading wine-producing countries in developing a body of regulations and setting high standards for its wines.

Wines are evaluated by an independent panel of experts, and only those that meet or exceed the appellation standards are awarded the VQA designation. Such wines may show a VQA medallion on the bottle or label. In addition, the VQA gold medallion is awarded to wines that show exceptional quality, as judged by the VQA tasting panel.
