A true pioneer in the Quebec wine industry, L'Orpailleur planted its first vines in 1982 in Dunham valley. The vineyard offers a variety of guided visits including a brief overview of the history of the vineyard and its production methods; a tasting of some local gourmet products; a short lesson in sabrage (the technique for opening champagne bottles with a knife); a food and wine pairing experience; and even a complete hands-on introduction to grape harvesting. Whites, reds, rosés, sparkling and ice wines are on offer at the store, as well as at their country-style restaurant, Le Tire-Bouchon!
