Wine & Beer Experiences in Quebec City

Quebec City isn't just about cobblestone streets and historic vibes, it’s also a cool spot for wine and beer lovers. If you wander into a few bars around Saint-Roch or Old Quebec, you’ll find some pretty unique craft beers on tap, many brewed right here or just a short drive away. And quiet moments in wine bars like Le Saint-Amour’s cellar will introduce you to Quebec’s surprising local wine scene, especially the ice wines made just a bit farther east.

The best part? You don’t need to be an expert to enjoy it. Just show up curious. One of my favorite things to do is spend an afternoon at La Barberie brewery in Saint-Roch, where the vibe is laid-back and the brewers are chatty. Oh, and if you get a chance in fall, book a tour to one of the vineyards near Île d’Orléans. The scenery and fresh air alone make it worth it, but standing in a vineyard surrounded by fall colors while sipping crisp cider or wine? You can’t beat that.

Pro tip: Some spots serve flights, so you can taste a bunch without overdoing it. Perfect for pacing yourself during a busy day of exploring Quebec City.

A local’s quick tips

If you want to get a real feel for Quebec City’s beer scene, try combining a stroll through Saint-Roch with some brewery hopping. It’s easy to pop into different spots without leaving the neighborhood. If you’re into something a bit quieter and more refined, the wine bars near Petit-Champlain have some interesting Quebec-produced wines, including those made from northern grapes and unique ice wines. Don’t miss the chance to try a flight of ciders in the fall, preferably paired with a good cheese plate,it’s a local favorite.

One place I keep coming back to is La Souche, a laid-back bar with an impressive rotating selection of local brews and often some surprising collaborations. You’ll chat with friendly bartenders who are happy to recommend off-the-beaten-path bottles.
