Quench Magazine, the longest running food and drink magazine in North America, has stayed the voice for wine and food lovers since 1973. But we are about more than just eating and drinking and enjoying life. We are on a mission to find new places, exciting experiences, emerging trends and sensations. Quench Magazine has always challenged convention and we will continue to explore and share the stories of the iconic, the change-makers and the up-and-comers in the culinary, wine and craft beverage industries. We will continue to focus on the historical and cultural context of wine and food and bolster our commitment to making food and wine accessible, engaging, relevant and enjoyable. We know our readers love their food and wine, music and art and we are excited to share the features and experiences through Quench Digital and Quench Print. We are committed to making a difference and we will continue to tell new stories, by both new and familiar storytellers, with the same spirit, integrity, and soul as we have for the past half century.

And experience the people and stories in the arts and culture world because we know that those that love wine and food, also love music, art, literature and other cultural and artforms that elicit emotion and spark discussion.

QUENCH PRINT

Quench Magazine, the oldest food and drink magazine in North America, started in 1973 as a newsletter that focused on educating passionate winelovers about the wine world. Since then, we have grown into Canada’s largest subscribed food and drink publication. Our focus has shifted with more wine, beers and spirits from around the world, easy-to-create recipes, spotlights on estates and producers, music, arts and culture, and the top food and wine trends … and we do it all in an easy-to-understand language that appeals to the everyday gourmet and the experienced connoisseur. An unplanned break from print in 2020 due to the pandemic (our printing press was deemed a non-essential service), has allowed us to give the magazine a new look with more pages and a broader scope with a perfect bound coffee-table-style keepsake. We are excited to be back in print.

Published twice a year, Quench Magazine also includes one of the most extensive wine buying guides in North America.
