Cheers to LOCAL Beers, Wines and Spirits!

That said, how can we explain such a boom and such a craze? Why cherish local craft ALCOHOLIC beverages? Firstly, it should be emphasized that Quebec enjoys a terroir conducive to the production of a variety of alcoholic beverages, including wine, beer, cider, mead, whiskey, gin, vodka, and many others. The climate, soil, geography, and biodiversity of Quebec provide ideal conditions for cultivating quality ingredients and developing original flavours. Furthermore, Quebec has a tradition of winemaking and brewing that goes back to the days of New France, coupled with artisan know-how passed down from generation to generation.

Melting Pot of Cuisine and CULTURE

The “melting pot of cuisine and CULTURE” refers to the idea of cooking and assembling the flavours, colours, textures and traditions of different countries in a single dish. In essence, it’s a way to travel. It’s the desire to broaden one’s horizons and stimulate the palate with new tastes. It’s the pursuit of a happy union. Ultimately, it’s the quest and creativity in the art of using food to craft happiness…
