Grand Cru

19th annual Grand Cru Culinary Wine Festival raises over $5 million for University Health Network

Top chefs and wine producers join forces to support Canada’s number-one hospital

UHN Foundation is proud to announce that this year’s Grand Cru Culinary Wine Festival raised over $5 million to support groundbreaking medical research and innovations across brain, diabetes, regenerative medicine, surgery and vision, at University Health Network (UHN). This remarkable feat could not have been accomplished without the generous support of the chefs, doctors, donors, sponsors, volunteers and wine estates.

Founded by Todd Halpern in 2005, Grand Cru Culinary Wine Festival is a two-day event uniting esteemed chefs and sommeliers from Toronto and around the world with the brightest minds in medical research to support UHN’s world-leading programs. The event features a series of private dinners in homes across Toronto and a live auction. The largest event of its kind, Grand Cru is the top fundraising food and wine festival in the world, and is a marquee event on the UHN Foundation calendar year after year.

Since its inception, Grand Cru Culinary Wine Festival has raised a remarkable $132 million in support of UHN.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Salut. Santé. Cheers.
