Best Winery in Canada

Y	YJ C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Did a tour for $10 per person, you get a wine glass and three "degustations" that they choose (the blanc, the rose, and the part d'ange), and a visit around the vineyard and a look at the machines. Was guided by Pierre, who was very informative and friendly. Also tasted the ice wine (one degustation for $2), which is definitely a must try. The space is lovely and you can stay in the area for a picnic, etc.
M	Marco on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best vineyard in the Eastern townships by a long shot. The setup is greatly done and their wines are at a whole different level. The staff is friendly, helpful and very knowledgable.
P	Philippe Dessaulles on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Got there too late to experience the wine tasting but the overall winery is very beautiful and the staff is helpful and friendly. They have a very nice selection though a large part of it is available at the SAQ.
R	Richard Bowlby on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An incredible facility but unfortunately they don't let you taste wines unless you book a sit down organized one. We had hoped to just sample what we wanted when we wanted but that was a no go. Sadly we never got to try and of the wines.
Y	Yiting H on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.
C	Constance Fodé on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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!
A	Auria W on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.
