Ice Wine Tour from Montreal with Exclusive Winery Access
Montreal, Canada
Delight your taste buds with this small-group wine-tasting tour from Montreal to Quebec wine country. This tour is a unique winter experience that reveals the secrets behind one of the region’s world-renowned products: ice wine. You’ll take exclusive tours of three wineries, take an ice wine cocktail-mixing class, enjoy wine tastings, and savor a gourmet lunch.
You’ll be picked up from downtown Montreal or Old Montreal in the morning and be taken by comfortable mini-coach through beautiful Quebec wine country.
On your unique ice wine tour, you’ll be welcomed by the owners at three vineyards. Start with an ice wine cocktail-mixing class, where you’ll learn tips on how to create the best flavors with this refreshing drink, which is a type of dessert wine produced from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine.
For a more comprehensive overview of this world-renowned product, you’ll be led on exclusive winery tours that aren’t open to the public in the winter. Feel like a privileged insider as you discover secrets about the ice wine-making process that few others know! Follow that up with some tastings of this unique wine.
Your tour includes a delicious warm lunch - inspired by Quebec's tradition - that includes pea soup, maple roasted ham, traditional meat pie with sweet & sour fruit ketchup and maple baked beans. Pair your meal with a green salad and a glass of wine. At the end of the day, you'll be taken back to Montreal.
Great tour- nice transportation and the food was amazing. It was fun to try all the wine and the fire cider. Would have been nice to know that some parts were mostly in French but the guide helped in translation a bit.

Montreal Ice Wine Tour delights! _br/_ Our driver and guide for the day, Michel, was very friendly and well informed. He not only took time to talk about the locations we were visiting but along the way gave the group nice information about the region in its history and also for its importance for wine harvesting in Quebec. All the wineries visited were enjoyable and well prepared for our visit. The wine tastings were quite nice and the explanations for production of ice and fire wine in Quebec were thorough and interesting. The group size was just right in order to get personal attention and to make it quite pleasant. They did a nice job in explaining in both english and french with ease. The location and wineries outside of Montreal were all very picturesque and it made for a lovely excursion and day! I would recommend this tour to friends.

For our first trip to Montreal in the middle of winter, this was a perfect way to spend the day. Our tour guide, Jon Paul was very knowledgeable. Not only did he explain the history of Montreal, but he made sure that most everything was translated into English, and he was a pleasure to be around. The first winery Leon Courville was my personal favorite. Learning how to make cocktails was so much fun. The woman who runs the winery was friendly, warm, and very welcoming to our group. She made sure we not only made delicious cocktails, but had a great time. For those of you who enjoy wine, I highly recommend this tour. The only negative aspect was that our lunch request was not honored we do not eat pork. Subsequently, there was not much to select from.

Excellent tour, and a wonderful activity for a freezing winter's day. Tour guide Michel was knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. All three places visited were excellent, and I purchased items from them all! Loved this tour.

Great tour, wonderful hosts. The locations were so friendly and totally worth the price. The meal was so tasty. I was surprised at all of the opportunities. I do wish I would have know it was going to be mostly in French, I would have studied more. : but everyone was very nice about helping us translate.

I would recommend anyone going to the Montreal area to consider going on this tour. My wife and I had the best time. Each of the 3 destinations offered up their own unique experience. First stop you learn how to use ice wine in different cocktails, second place you are served a delicious lunch, then finally finish off the day with some ice cider! We had a wonderful time!

Excellent way to depend the day! Nicholas our tour guide was very knowledgable and easily translated from French to English making sure we all understood the process of winemaking. . The wineries were all very nice and we tasted some great wines. Nicholas's humor and wit quickly brought our group together and we all became friends which led to hours of laughter. _br/_
Thank you for a very fun and enjoyable experience. _br/_

The Ice wine tour was a delight , you visit 3 places : 2 wineries and 1 cider .The whole trip was smooth and fun with Michel our tour guide. "Domaine Les Brome" was our 1st stop for wine tasting and Mixology cocktails (Many Tastings) . You also get a lot of explanations on how ice wine is done .Then we headed towards the 2nd winery called "L'orpailleur" where you also have a lot of ice wine tasting and bubble wine too. We were informed about the history of the winery too ."L'orpailleur" has a small eco museum related to barrel making and many other thing related to wine making. At the 2nd stop we had our lunch : Raclette (which was cold meats , raclette cheese , a piece of bread and salad). Last we went to the Cider called "Union Libre Cidre Et Vin" where we have a lot of Cider tasting with some cold meats/cheese. We had the pleasure of tasting the Fire Cider and Apple Syrup on ice (delicious). One of the owners Anoushka was extremly passionate about what she does and made the visit super enjoyable. Overall highly recommended - the reason for the 4 stars is the lunch which could have been better and would have made this trip Perfect.
