Established in 1996, in partnership with Grape Growers of Ontario and the Wine Council of Ontario, CCOVI is an internationally recognized institute focused on research priorities of Canada

’s grape and wine industry and the education and outreach needs of that community. As the institute has grown, we’ve taken our research and services beyond the science disciplines of oenology and viticulture and expanded our activities to look at all areas of the grape and wine value chain such as wine business, policy research and agri-tourism. As CCOVI has grown, three important areas have been at the core of what we do. We’ve focused our research on industry needs that help increase the growth, profitability and sustainability of the Canadian industry; provided education opportunities to train the industry leaders of tomorrow; and provided international conferences and events that have helped raise the profile of Canadian wine globally.
