The Manitoba Private Wine Stores Association
The Manitoba Private Wine Stores Association (MPWSA) represents all of the Private Wine Stores in the province of Manitoba, Canada. MPWSA is in charge of Joint Purchasing of Wine, on behalf of its member stores, and managing the joint inventory. We hold monthly sessions for wine producers from around the world to present new wines (or to send samples). With the joint buying power of our member stores, we offer the international producers a “volume” alternative for distribution in Manitoba, and pass on the savings to the consumers in Manitoba. The MPWSA is also the joint advertising and promotions arm of its member stores. It also provides joint Advocacy, Regulatory and Operational Liaison on behalf of the Private Wine Stores of Manitoba. The activities of the MPWSA are guided by 11-member Board of Directors from the owners of its member stores.

De Nardi
Since 1972, the De Nardi family have been pioneers in bringing the finest food and wine to the city of Winnipeg.
From their humble beginnings on Sargent Avenue to wholesale food distribution and Gourmet Market, the Piazza De Nardi, the De Nardi family have travelled the globe in search of unique wines and food of the highest quality.
The wine store at the Piazza De Nardi boasts a selection of more than 2000 wines from around the world. With several Sommeliers on staff, they would love to help you find the perfect match for your weekday meal, the bottle of wine to bring your dinner party to the next level, or the most amazing gift for that special someone.
In Italy, a Piazza is a meeting place where friends and families gather to enjoy a cup of coffee, a meal or browse local markets. This was their goal at the Piazza De Nardi where they get to meet you, their valued customer, and share with you their passion for food and wine.
Ellement Wine & Spirits
They are an independent wine shop located at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and tucked within the historic walls of the busy Forks Market. Beyond offering a diverse range of high-end spirits and cigars (since 1994), a significant and renewed focus of theirs has been to source natural and delicious wines, cultivated by the hands and hearts of real people from all over the world – those who share a passion for biodynamic and preservative-free production. The result: a selection of wines that are new, approachable, and of bold character.
In line with the ethos of The Forks and their commitment to offering local, consciously produced products, Ellement Wine & Spirits believe in the significance and grit of Terroir. All of their favourite wines reflect the place from which they come and the people who have helped facilitate its production. They celebrate not only the wine, but the people who help make them, and continuously educate themselves so that they may share the stories embedded in each wine.
Ellement Wine & Spirits hope that what you discover in their store will end up the first finished at the table, and the longest remembered!
