5 Best Day Trips From Montreal: Québec City, Ottawa, the Eastern Townships, Mont Tremblant, and Hudson | Condé Nast Traveler

"L'Orpailleur brings 40 years of experience making wines in one of the country’s most marginal climates, and its shop (and tasting room) is a must-stop for any oenophile traveling through the Eastern Townships. Its signature white is the L'Orpailleur Blanc, a blend of vidal and seyval grapes, which expresses the classic Quebec white-wine character to a tee. It’s light dry, fresh, and very delicate, with notes of green apple, white flowers, and citrus. Another favorite you'll have to try is the La Part des Anges—literally, "the angels' share"—a sweet fortified wine with hints of walnut, prune, roasted grains, butter, and caramel. (It was twice a winner in the Grands vins du Québec contest.)" - Todd Plummer, Isa Tousignant

Beautiful winery with lovely scenery. Their wines never disappoint and the restaurant has a wonderful menu. Everything is good. The terrasse is beautiful, especially when the vines start growing in. A must try for anyone that is a wine lover.

Wine tasting explanation is less friendly than other wineries we’ve tried. I think because they are a bit lack of staff, so the place was a bit busy. It looks like they just finished doing renovation and seems like a good upgrade. The view and the room here is amazing.

Nothing changed. Same taste, same quality. It’s a good place to have a rest with a glass of wine. And the wine btw, is very soft.

We stopped in while visiting family. It's a really nice looking place. Interesting local history pictures & stories inside on the walls. We learned some things. We did not try the wines as we had to get going. Maybe another time.

The recommended vineyard in Quebec. Tried ones in Ontario and other European ones. This one is not tasting at the COVID. So bought the $28 most expensive bottle of Chardonnay for a try. Announced by the salespersons that it won the medal over blind taste. The wine was also put in the American oak barrel according to the salesperson. They say the wine is chilled well for opening and tasting outside. When it is opened, they used the screw that doesn’t hurt the cork, but the temperature of the wine bottle is not satisfactory. The taste is hmm, spice, wax and a bit smoky, worse than any bottle even in Costco. I wanna enrich my knowledge in wine medals here, so I went online according to the photo I took at the shelf. Look carefully, the medal has 2020 and 2018 on it, the bottle is 2019. Not even the medal has nothing to do with the bottle, the website has not mentioned this bottle in none of these years. This is cheating that I don’t like.
