The Best Patios to Enjoy a Glass (or Bottle) of Wine

Colder weather and indoor dining shutdowns shouldn't have to prevent Torontonians from enjoying a bottle at one of the gorgeous wine bars that our city is home to. Luckily, many of our favourites are keeping their patios open (or even building out new ones!) to accommodate for safe outdoor sipping. Whether they provide heaters or encourage guests to bundle up and bring blankets, there's still a way to savour a few glasses and a delicious snack in an outdoor space, so don't let the chilly fall air discourage you from heading over to one of these spots for a drink.
