The best wines from Quebec in Canada

The province of Quebec is located in the north-east of Canada. In general, the climate is too ‘harsh’ for wine growing. Nevertheless, light, fresh white wines are made. Hybrid, hardy vines of Seyval Blanc and Vidal thrive.

It is a challenge to make wine in Quebec. Vineyards with shelter from the cold and more sun and warmth are scarce. Only here are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay planted. In this French-speaking area there are around thirty wineries. The vineyards are spread over less than 200 hectares. Like Nova Scotia, this area does not have an appellation system.
