Whether you’re an avid wine collector with a cellar of vino you can’t wait to try, or simply can’t find your favourite red or white on the list at your go-to date night restaurant, Bring Your Own Wine (BYOW) is an ideal option for some wine lovers. These restaurants offer diners the chance to bring in their own bottle for a corkage fee.
Known as Edmonton’s only revolving restaurant, La Ronde can be found on the 24th floor of the Chateau Lacombe hotel. The restaurant, which has a fancy, formal atmosphere and French cuisine, does a full circle every 88 minutes. If you don’t get motion sickness, and would like to enjoy a bottle of your own wine from home with your meal, that’s an option. They offer BYOW with a $25 corkage fee but have a free corkage special Thursday evenings from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
