We have well-established microbreweries in most regions and over half our wineries are located in the Eastern Townships and the Montérégie region. We also excel at making spirits, such as gin, maple whisky, black currant liqueur, and more. Road tours and guided tours allow you to discover the expertise behind what is produced, some of which are even recognized by a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI).

Our wines... our passion
You can purchase several Québec wines in branches of the Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ). You can also buy directly from winegrowers or from certain public markets. We drink our wines, whether they fall under an appellation or not, with our delicious Québec cheeses to form the perfect pairing! September is synonymous with harvesting and other activities related to grape picking are organized.

A beer... is also a brew!
Brewed largely according to classic French, Belgian and British methods, Québec beers stand out from most North American beers because of their lengthy fermentation. Beers brewed here include lager, pilsener, porter, stout and white beer, all of which can be found at grocery and convenience stores. But nothing beats putting back a cold one right at the microbrewery. Learn more about our master brewers at our many beer festivals.

Cider galore!
Québec now boasts more than 30 cider mills producing top-quality cider. The Montérégie region is where most cider is produced due to its high concentration of orchards. The Montérégie Cider Route showcases the different aspects of apple and cider production. And at Montréal’s Mondial des cidres, you can taste this delicious beverage and learn about the expertise of our master cider producers.

Innovative spirits
Crème de cassis, maple whiskey, fire cider, ice cider, Nordic rum, ice perry, caribou, mead, Acerum or tomato wine... Have you heard about them? These are just a few of the many spirits produced by our artisans. Original and unique, they surprise even the most discerning palates! Our gins and vodkas are not to be outdone and have already won several international distinctions.
