The OenoExpérience Sensory Workshop: A Different Way to Taste
Among the most unique experiences at Montvinéa, our OenoExpérience sensory workshop offers an extraordinary tasting. Seated in a room plunged into darkness, you taste different wines in an environment that resets your usual reference points. With every glass, you are exposed to sounds, auditory soundscapes, and visual stimuli, exploring how our senses—sight, hearing, smell, and even emotion—influence our perception of taste. This immersive approach allows you to rediscover wine in a new light, more intuitively and intensely. It is a unique experience not to be missed during your visit to the vineyard.
These experiences allow you to dive into the world of wine, understand how it is made, and connect the vineyard to your glass.
Food & Wine Pairings and Shared Moments
Summer is also the season for dining outdoors. A visit to Montvinéa can easily turn into a shared experience over a platter of charcuterie and cheese, perfectly paired with your favorite wines.
Imagine enjoying:
- a crisp Chenin Blanc with a fresh cheese platter
- a delicate Pinot Noir with fine charcuterie
- a refreshing Gamay Rosé on the patio with a view of the vines
It is the perfect occasion to celebrate summer as a couple or with friends, in a rustic yet refined setting.
A Cultural and Educational Outing
More than just a simple tasting, visiting Montvinéa is also about:
- meeting passionate wine lovers
- understanding the vineyard’s history
- discovering how a Quebec terroir can produce wines with real character
- asking questions directly to the winemakers
This type of experience enriches your trip, gives you stories to share, and allows you to experience wine beyond the glass—one of the main joys of wine tourism.
