Rustic or urban? A little bit of both! An exquisite sensory experience in a rustic yet accessible setting located just five minutes from downtown Sherbrooke. La Halte des P\u00e8lerins is an exceptional vineyard and a must-visit destination.<\/p>\nEstablished on a vacant lot in 1998, La Halte des P\u00e8lerins opened its doors in 2008 with 20,000 vines. The company offers visitors a delightful mix of fun and epicurean delight in an enchanting setting. La Halte des P\u00e8lerins is Quebec’s only urban vineyard. It\u2019s also the first to market its products and services to families. We already have a broad range of wines for sale: Le P\u00e8lerin (white), La Petite Chapelle (ros\u00e9), Le Sanctuaire (red), Le Miracul\u00e9 (ap\u00e9ritif) and Le Confessionnal (Port-style fortified wine). Next year, we will introduce an ice wine called L\u2019Archange. It will be followed by Le Graal (red ice wine), Le Prestige (top-of-the-range red wine) and Le Confessionnal R\u00e9serve (another Port-style fortified wine).<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nBesides producing remarkable wines, La Halte des P\u00e8lerins has offered delightful experiences to visitors since its second year open to the public.

In response to growing visitor numbers and an increasing popularity for receptions, La Halte des P\u00e8lerins renovated its cellar in the winter of 2014 and set up two indoor tasting rooms.

La Halte des P\u00e8lerins is one of the first vineyards in Quebec to obtain a Protected Geographical Indication.

La Halte des P\u00e8lerins has sought to build on its success and make its products more accessible. Since 2012, our wines have been sold across the entire SAQ (provincial liquor store) network and in many shops and supermarkets.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Sustainable development” tab_id=”1492630132710-f9c5689b-5abc”][vc_column_text]Since establishing La Halte des P\u00e8lerins, we have made a sincere effort to reduce our impact on the environment.<\/p>\n
Our lanes, paths and landscaping elements are created using raw materials and vegetation procured on-site, while the wood used in construction comes from trees located on the property. These measures practically eliminate the need for transporting materials for landscaping and construction.<\/p>\n
For the last 10 years, the children’s play area has offered a second lease on life to equipment from a dismantled playground originally located in Pointe-Merry Park in the town of Magog. Similarly, the brick used on the terrace and the granite in our outdoor amphitheatre were recovered from the demolition of the outpatient clinic of Sherbrooke’s H\u00f4tel-Dieu hospital. Additionally, most of the storehouse\u2019s furnishings were bought used or recovered as part of personal renovation projects undertaken by the vineyard’s owners.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]La Halte des P\u00e8lerins continues to limit its waste production through various measures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Sorting of waste (recycling, compost and unusable waste)<\/li>\n
- Using washable, non-disposable dishes and cutlery only<\/li>\n
- Using washable tablecloths, napkins and placemats<\/li>\n
- Providing reusable washcloths instead of disposable hand towels in the bathrooms<\/li>\n
- Tests are being conducted in the storehouse on the possibility of using wine lees a second time, which would reduce the waste generated from our winemaking operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]To manage our water usage and control our carbon footprint, we:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Clean barrels using a steam machine to avoid using chemical products<\/li>\n
- Use electric golf carts to transport employees around our 45 acres of land, thereby preventing the emission of greenhouse gases<\/li>\n
- Proudly work with local companies and employ people who live in the community<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
