Vignoble de l’Orpailleur

Holy amazing. Best wines we've tasted in QC and VT by far. Their brut is equivalent to Schramsberg in Napa Valley, CA. Both chardonnays were incredible. Likewise for their rose (still) and frissant. We are definitely going back since it's so close to VT, just 5 miles over the border from the West Berkshire crossing!

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.

Beautiful winery! They redesigned the customer experience (due to Covid19), with large information boards about the process of how they make wine and the history of L'Orpailleur. I learned a lot about the techniques and the challenges they face year around. No wine tasting obviously, but a warm welcome and the staff can still answer your questions. If in area, don't miss it!

Very nice place, well organize but the non-sugary wines are not the best.The sugary rosé was exceptional in my humble opinion but the others not so much. And the red was way above average.

Wonderful food and although I don't know a thing about wine, I really enjoyed the tasting experience.

The place is beautiful. The people is so friendly. The tour is very good. The taste was amazing. The food in the restaurant was excellent. In brief, I would recommend to live this experience at least once.

Very nice clean, big and modern winnery. Must have been a big investment. It has a restaurant but it was too busy so I did not try it. Plenty of parking available. Verdict : give it a try.

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.

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.
