President, Vince’s Market
Welcome to our holiday edition of Fresh Discoveries! This season, we’re excited to introduce a curated selection of unique and flavourful items that will make your holiday entertaining memorable. From premium Fever Tree artisan mixers for perfect cocktails to Norwegian steelhead smoked salmon, we’ve handpicked items to add a special touch to your gatherings. Discover international flavours with Castello’s cheese rings or savour Ontario’s own Wayne Gretzky VQA wines. Each product is chosen with care to elevate your table and impress your guests. Cheers to a delicious holiday season!
If 3/4 of your cocktail is mixer, why not mix with the best?
Fever-Tree mixers are premium beverages crafted with high-quality, naturally sourced ingredients. They come in elegant glass bottles and convenient cans, making them perfect for cocktails or enjoying on their own. Their range includes Premium and Mediterranean Tonic Waters, Ginger Beer, Sicilian Lemonade, and others – all designed to enhance the taste of spirits without overpowering them. The brand emphasizes natural flavours and carefully sourced botanicals, ensuring a refreshing and balanced drink experience.

Entertaining made easy with our fresh, pre-made platters
We all like to binge eat during the holiday season, but why not binge on something healthy? In our Produce department, we carry a wide variety of pre-made veggie, fruit, and combination platters (ie. vegetable and pumpernickel with spinach dip, mixed fruits, veggies and dip) – and these are a not only delicious, but a huge time saver. Skip the cleaning, cutting and prepping of your fresh produce, and spend more time with friends and family the next time you entertain!

Bring international flavours to your holiday charcuterie board!
For holiday gatherings, I always include a Castello cream cheese ring on my charcuterie board. Available in three delicious varieties – Taste Hawaii, Taste Mexico, and Taste Thailand – these rings add vibrant flavour and interest to your spread. My favourite, Taste Hawaii, brings a tropical twist with its creamy, fruity notes. All three varieties offer something new for guests to enjoy and pair perfectly with plain Carr’s water crackers or with some nice smoked salmon. A true charcuterie standout!

Back-to-school made easy with Vince’s Own sandwiches
Indulge in hearty comfort with our in-house, artisan-crafted stews, made in small batches with no preservatives. Try our rich beef stew served in a bread bowl – perfect for cozy nights. Our chicken stew is an ideal filling for a homemade chicken pot pie, bringing classic flavours to your table. For a plant-based option, the smokey potato chickpea stew pairs beautifully over rice, creating a meal brimming with warm, satisfying flavours.

Norwegian steelhead smoked salmon is a holiday treat
Home to some of the most flavourful salmon in the world, Norwegian Fjord Steelhead salmon offers the perfect addition to any holiday spread. The clean, glacial-fed waters near the arctic circle produce succulent salmon with rich colour and firm flesh. This salmon is gently smoked over alderwood to deliver a distinct flavour with a smooth texture and taste. From the fjords to your table – smoked salmon makes every occasion special.
