Have you ever struggled to enjoy a celebratory drink without the alcohol? Perhaps you’re pregnant, driving, don’t actually want to drink, or simply looking for a healthier option. With Grace Marketplace, located in the heart of Pickering’s Nautical Village, offers a unique solution.
“We are Durham Region’s first alcohol-free bottle shop, featuring non-alcoholic beer, dealcoholized wine, alternative spirits and health-focused adaptogens,” says Dana Jackson, the founder and owner.
Dana’s passion for this venture stems from her personal experience with sobriety. “‘With grace’ became my personal mantra through the challenges, and the essential theme of my sobriety / life since,” Dana explains. “For me, grace means a proactive acceptance, love and caring for my mind, my body, this planet, all animals and fellow human beings.”
With Grace Marketplace isn’t just about selling drinks; it’s about creating a space for community and inclusivity. “There is certainly a growing presence of non-alcoholic drinks in grocery stores, which is GREAT as it’s evidence that people are asking for it,” says Dana. “Where we differ is quality. Our selection is a personally-curated one, offering some of the best quality alternatives from around the world.”
Whether you’re looking for a refreshing beer alternative or a flavourful mocktail option, With Grace Marketplace has something for everyone. Their commitment to quality ensures a full-flavored experience, without the sugar or calorie overload often found in sugary drinks.
The shop also boasts a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for browsing and discovery. “We have received some beautiful Google reviews in our first few months and are incredibly grateful for all of the kind words,” Dana shares. “Every day offers a new lesson and a new experience.”
More Than Just a Bottle Shop
With Grace Marketplace goes beyond simply providing alcohol-free options. Dana is passionate about building a community and offering support to those seeking to explore a life less reliant on alcohol. “I am very open to discussing my own recovery. My hope is that by me recovering loudly, others will not need to suffer quietly,” Dana says. “I welcome all conversations in our space and am so excited to share these incredible flavours with others. We have options.”
The shop also plans to host community events, highlighting local businesses and artists with special non-alcoholic cocktail creations. This focus on community engagement makes With Grace Marketplace a truly unique destination.
