Gathering again to taste and share!

It is with enthusiasm – and in person – that the SAQ is co-presenting the 12th edition of La Grande Dégustation de Montréal. This year’s event looks to be exceptional, with wine regions like Abruzzo, Alsace, Portugal, California and Washington State in the spotlight. You will be enthralled by the wide range of wines, spirits and ciders made with know-how. And with more than 280 winemakers and producers from around the globe in attendance, it is a dream opportunity for chatting and discovering new products. In all, some 1,600 products, including several exclusives, from 80 different wine regions are on offer – a veritable world tour!

We encourage you to visit us at one of our two Espace SAQ, where we will be delighted to introduce you to the variety and diversity of Quebec products. Over the years, demonstrating patience and discipline, local winemakers, cider makers, distillers and other beverage alcohol producers have developed recognized expertise, inspiring in us great pride.

Along with the organizers, volunteers and members of the industry, we are excited to bring you such a wonderful event, one that has become a must for wine and spirits lovers. On behalf of all my colleagues at the SAQ, I warmly thank our partners and wish you many fascinating encounters and exciting discoveries.
