1977 St. Joseph Blvd. Ottawa, Ontario
(613) 834-2586

Today’s Groupon: for $75, you get a winemaking experience at The Wine Garden Warehouse Winery (a $150 value). Choose from the following four Ottawa locations:

  • Chatelain Avenue
  • St. Joseph Boulevard
  • Sieveright Road
  • Schneider Road

The experience includes the following:

  • An 18-litre batch (24 750-mL bottles’ worth) of one of the following wines:
  1. Organic Argentinian malbec red wine
  2. Organic Italian pinot grigio white wine
  • Instruction from a master winemaker
  • Corks, labels, and shrink-wraps

The Wine Garden Warehouse Winery’s grape alchemists help oenophiles craft their own quaffs at urban breweries outfitted with Italian stainless-steel fermentation vessels. Working alongside a master winemaker, burgeoning vintners participate as much as they like in the brewing process, which begins with choosing one of two organic juice bases before mixing, filtering, and guiding wine through its awkward teen years. Once thought doomed after European vine plagues but later taught to thrive in South America, the Argentinian malbec varietal produces a deep color and plum flavor, with notes of anise. Alternatively, the Italian pinot grigio blooms into a white elixir possessing a floral aroma and citrusy taste only otherwise accessible by using rose petals as a condiment. Once wines are blended, stored, and done fermenting, buyers return to bottle their creations and slap on a personalized label. Customers may bring 24 of their own 750-millilitre bottle or purchase them on the premises for $0.75 each.

Two friends launched the first Nando’s Flame-Grilled Chicken in South Africa more than 20 years ago by fusing culinary techniques from Portugal and Mozambique to create their secret peri-peri spice recipe. Named after the Swahili word for the bird’s eye chili, the eatery’s signature peri-peri chicken crowns its menu, tempting diners to sink incisors into fowl marinated for 24 hours in antioxidant-packed spices before it’s grilled over an eternal flame (from $6 for a leg and thigh to $17 for a whole bird). Further options include a whole-wheat wrap stuffed with roasted vegetables ($6.50), a veggie burger ($6.50), or peri-peri chicken threaded onto double kebabs (from $10 for a meal with one side). To cool taste buds inflamed by the fowl’s capsaicin kick, cinnamon-dusted Portuguese tarts ($2) ooze a custard capable of relaxing even an auctioneer’s palate.
