Jean-Talon Market will be holding its 2nd edition of La Foire des vins et cidres d’ici on August 12 and 13. This not-to-be-missed event will be the perfect opportunity to discover new vineyards and cideries and fill up your cellars in the process.
From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Quebec wine and cider lovers will be able to discover talented producers, discover new vintages and learn more about their products. As well as stocking up on exclusive vintages, visitors will be able to attend a series of free conferences on wine and cider on Saturday August 12 and tasting workshops on Sunday August 13.
The lectures will be given free of charge by industry professionals and hosted by Geneviève Vézina-Montplaisir of Caribou magazine.
Admission to the event is free, and tasting glasses cost $5. Tastings cost $2 to $5, at the discretion of the wineries and cideries.
