The Wine Thief has landed in Bloorcourt with a specific mission: making the neighbourhood’s park picnics significantly better. The new wine bar offers chilled bottles to go alongside a menu of Spanish-leaning small plates for anyone who’d rather stick around and eat in.
The to-go wine format taps into a genuinely underserved niche — plenty of wine bars are built purely for sit-down service, leaving picnic-goers to rely on liquor store runs instead. The Wine Thief closes that gap, letting neighbours grab a properly chilled bottle on their way to the park without sacrificing the quality or curation of a dedicated wine shop.
For those who’d rather stay put, the small plates menu gives the space its own draw beyond the takeaway angle, rounding out The Wine Thief as a legitimate destination in its own right, not just a convenient pit stop.
Planning a park hangout this summer? The Wine Thief is open now in Bloorcourt for a proper bottle to go.
