Tricks and Advice

Are you a wine lover? Be adventurous and let yourself be charmed by the most beautiful country roads of Quebec. In each one of our regions, you will find remarkable wine-growing sites with beautiful straight rows of vine, spread out through fields and valleys.

To meander along Québec’s wine route is like going back to ones’ roots, touching the soil, seeing the vine stocks, the flowers and the grape clusters. And even more: to meet passionate wine growers, to enter the tasting rooms, to appreciate the varieties, and especially to discover some surprising crisp wines, produced with care and skill.

Much more than the wine harvesting period

April will surprise you: vine stocks freshly trimmed, dedicated workers, the grand start of the wine-producing season, all under the spring sun. And what to say about all the succeeding summer months with flowers and leaves, then clusters and grapes. Québec’s wine route is always beautiful.

It’s a start

With your family or friends, set off as a group, but never forget “moderation is always in good taste” …without forgetting that a designated driver is always necessary. Choose your destination now and make each visit one of pleasurable discoveries.

From one winery to the next

It’s time to explore, to compare the same colors, the same vines. Make choices, taste with parsimony. Become intoxicated from the atmosphere of the place, from the culture, from the installations, from the wine-producing countryside. Share your impressions and take advantage of the wine growers’ welcome.

Tasting at your fingertips

Once the wine is poured, it invites you to observe it, to admire its clearness, its opacity. After swirling the wine, it’s time for your aromatic perceptions. Drink now and appreciate the texture and the intensity of its bouquet.

Fall in love or be tempted

Final judgment is up to you. Several of the wines you will taste are available only on-site or have limited availability. Take home some treasures. Once on your table, they will remind you of your magnificent journey through the countryside.
