Our largest, most popular issue of the year goes all-out celebrating a diverse range of traditional and informal occasions, with an emphasis on gifting, pairings and seasonal recipes. 

Please note: The Food & Drink Travel Issue has been discontinued, effective 2027. We will continue to publish and invest in our popular four core seasonal issues annually: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Holiday, which remain central to the success of the Food & Drink brand. This change will better align Food & Drink with LCBO’s promotional calendar and seasonal programming, while creating greater capacity to expand exciting new digital content opportunities throughout the year.  

Our 2027 publishing schedule will be posted here in late Summer 2026.
