If you dream of having that european moment without having to go anywhere far, this is the place for you! I had the opportunity to visit the enchanted vineyard Chateau Ste-Agnes to see all the experiences they have to offer. You can litterally spend a full day at their location! Upon arrival, there is an entry fee of $15 to access the vineyard and you can combine it with some of the experiences we will discuss later on:
The first experience we tested out is their picnic in the vineyard. For $40, their picnic kit perfect for 1-4 people for up to 3 hours & includes a basket and towel.
For an additional cost you can visit their boutique to have goodies from À La Table By Hanna and of course add one of their delightful wine bottles. They have light snacks like cookies but also have grazing boxes perfect for a dreamy cheeseboard moment!
We also got to visit the whole vineyard and learn more about the history of the Chateau, the wine and the previous owner.
A little fun fact, it is also where Adele filmed a portion of her music video for Easy On Me.
Of course it is always necessary to stop by the boutique to buy local products from every place I go to haha! Their boutique is so aesthetically pleasing and offers plenty of products from À La Table By Hanna as well as all their winessss (Their ice wine was my favorite and truly a must whenever you go!!! )
Last but not least, I had the opportunity to experience their Farm to Vine event where by the menu, created by Isabel Gariepy highlights fresh and locally sources ingredients supporting local farms from the region.
A culinary experience inviting conversations and building a sense of community with the one big long table for all guests! As well, their is live musice to enjoy during the event.
To give you an idea of the 4 course meal we had, here is what we ate:
Of course, the menu being seasonal it will always be different but will for sure be delightful.
Bon Appetit & Safe Travels!
