Shipping alcohol to Alberta
A producer in another province can ship to you in Alberta once it has been approved by AGLC — and you must be 18 or older to receive it. What is allowed, and since when, varies by province; here is what is on the record.

Today. Today, an out-of-province manufacturer can apply to AGLC and must wait for formal authorization before selling direct to Alberta consumers. Applications could begin on 21 July 2026. Manufacturers approved by AGLC submit a monthly report of shipments. AGLC publishes a dated participants list. The current PDF, updated 6 November 2026, is headed “Name of the DTC Participant,” has a province column, and includes producers from British Columbia, Ontario, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Alberta has also extended its separate direct-to-consumer wine agreement with British Columbia.
Not yet published. AGLC has not published a percentage of retail price, and it has not published a first-shipment date. 21 July 2026 is the day applications opened. It collects an administrative fee, GST, and container and recycling amounts. The DTC Fee Schedule (July 2026) publishes dollar-per-litre administrative fees effective 1 April 2026, for example wine at or below 16 percent ABV at $4.69 per litre, and beer at or below 11.9 percent ABV at $1.25 per litre.
Source. Source: AGLC, checked 5 October 2026. The superseded PDF of 24 July 2026 listed 92 participants under “Name of the BC Winery.” The on-page figure of 93 entries had counted the “Total of 92 Participants” footer line.

Questions
Is it legal to ship alcohol to Alberta?
Yes, within limits. Alberta is one of nine provinces in the July 2026 agreement, so a Canadian producer approved by AGLC may ship directly to a Alberta resident of legal drinking age, for personal use. The producer must be on that list first.
How old do I have to be to receive alcohol in Alberta?
18. The destination province's drinking age applies, not the producer's.
Who regulates this in Alberta?
AGLC. Producers must be approved by AGLC before shipping into Alberta, and it is the authority to check with if you are unsure about a specific order.
