Rare Wine Auctions

Specializes in modern design and decorative arts sold through multi-day auctions drawn from local estates and consigners, with recent sales including "Modern Design" and "Decorative" sessions, French and Danish antiques, sculpture, and a Fine and Rare Wine Auction featuring over 200 lots. Founded in 1987, the firm also offers appraisal services and handles real estate and liquidations, and its catalog is currently rounded out by a multi-part modern and decorative sale running in parts.

Upcoming auctions include a November Fine Wine Auction opening November 17 at 10 AM EST and closing November 24 at 8 PM EST, and a November Fine Spirits Auction running from November 16 at 10 AM EST to November 23 at 8 PM EST, though the source does not state the year for either sale. Iron Gate also offers live and online fine wine auctions to Canadian collectors, but the September Fine Spirits Auction falls outside the search window and is excluded.

Upcoming auctions include an online sale of general commercial catering, kitchen, and restaurant furniture, which closes at 2pm on 5 November 2026. No other sale listed in the source falls within the search window, as the remaining listed auctions closed in late October.

Encan Vinvest specializes in auctioning rare wines and private collections, with the wine division's listed categories including grands crus de Bordeaux, vins de Bourgogne, vintage Champagne, prestigious Italian wines, and rare Californian wines. Beyond wine, its beer and spirits division offers collectible beers and exceptional spirits selected for rarity and prestige. The Quebec-based house, which says it is authorized by the SAQ, will also appraise an entire cave à vin free of charge from a list or photos of the bottles.
