Armando was an experiment in making Italian style aperitifs right here in Toronto. From our tiny workshop on Geary Avenue, we made small batches of Bitter Aperitivo and Sweet Vermouth.

Wildly independant, we did as much as possible (probably too much!) in house: from hand peeling thousands of oranges, making our own wine, and hand delivering bottles across the city.

Started by Sam Wilson and named for his Grandfather, Armando was technically a one-man-show. But it wouldn't have been possible without the support and help of so many friends and family members.

To everyone who bought a bottle, reccomended us to a friend, or tried a sample dispite hating bitter things, grazie mille!

We couldn't have done it without you. Until the next time...
