le cep d'argent

Wonderfull visit to this sympatical wineyard.Owners and employees were experienced and very helpfull.The small museum is cute.Jean Guy Renaud, Longueuil Qc

We wanted a wine for our dinner, with a little woodsy taste and François made a suggestion that we found to be right on mark.

did not think that a small vineyard in the Eastern Townships of Quebec would rate as a slightly out of the way, tastefully presented, pleasantly informative experience. We tasted some nice wines, bought a few and never regretted.

We took their free tour and tasted 5 of their wines. Very interesting story of 2 brothers that came from the Champagne region in France and started their vineyard in Magog. We bought their Mistelle (Mistral) and their fortified wine (L'archer). Great...

Went there with a group. Visit and tasting animation was interesting (nice staff). The wines were very bad. Food buffet for our group was only ok. Soup was good.Will not return. Very disappointing. I was expecting more from Champenois owners.....

Loved the tour. Owners and workers are very nice to talk to. Pleasant experience. One of the fun things to do in the area. Kir is fabulous!

Tour includes visit to vineyard, description of methods of production. Methode Champenoise Canadian sparkling wine is rather like English sparking wines and at 20 dollars is comparable to the the big name export Champagnes you'll find in your local UK supermaket. Tasting includes white, red, sparking, aperitif and fortified dessert wines with an interesting narrative. Worth a visit, and interesting to compare to visits with similar small vineyards in France.

We enjoyed our stop here. The staff is very friendly even though our french is poor. We bought a bottle of their Mistral and a bottle of sparkling wine - both of which were delicious. Pricey but worth it!

That was anice visit. Explanations were easy and clear. Worth tasting their various wines. It is also easy to wlak there so you could see the raisins and it supports the exaoplnations of the tour.

The Vignoble le Cep d’Argent is the first winery in Quebec that we have tried. We visited it on impulse, as we needed a break from a long drive. I am familiar with wine tours, so opted instead for the standard tasting menu, five selections for 6 dollars.Since wine tastes are so individual, you can ignore my recommendations if you wish. The climate and soils of the wineries in Eastern Canada (Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia) have not in the past been conducive to good red wines, but that is now changing, and I was very impressed with the "La Réserve des Chevaliers" red wine, a mix of the following varietals -- Maréchal Foch, De Chaunac, Ste-Croix, et Frontenac. It has body and character, and I will gladly share it with my wine-loving friends. It is aged in oak barrels.I also bought the white wine "La Cuvée des Seigneurs", a blend of Seyval, New York Muscat, and Vidal varietals. Also barrel-aged, and with a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.I was less impressed with the wines that were aged in metal vats. Remember, Wood is Good.Quebec wines are not exported, as the entire production is consumed within the province. This winery has been in business for 25 years, and is one of the oldest in the province. It shows in the quality of their wines. The winery's English version of its web site is:http://www.cepdargent.com/en/Recommended.

My boyfriend and I have visited this place twice - both times in the summer. It was beautiful there, and the winery is a great stop when you're on your way to/from Quebec or Magog. It's fairly small in terms of vineyards, and the staff is very nice and lets you try as many types of their selections as you like. I love their fruity white wines and especially their ice wine! So delicious! I highly recommend their port as well - very potent and strong, but with a fruity kick.

We didn't do the tour, only the tasting. Their wines were good, not the best, not the worst. We have gone to many tasting rooms in Quebec wineries, and we prefer having an conversation with the owner in a more quiet setting. This place is very commercial, there were a lot of people there for a tour, and the lady doing the tasting was constantly being distracted.

I went there for the Thanksgiving weekend in October of 2011. I personally enjoy wine very much but I don't know much about the types of wines and the process of making wine. So I decided to book a visit wine tasting at the winery in Estrie (Quebec). The views on road were amazing, trees starting to show off their amazing colours and the Magog Lake is huge! The winery staff was very friendly. The guide explained us the whole process of making wines, the difference between authentic French wines and the hybrids made here in Quebec. The tour was in French and I forgot to ask whether they offer English tours as well..Rezervation is necessary prior to the visit. (I booked 2 days before). They ask for payment over the phone. The wine tasting was great and I even bought a bottle to bring home. From what I read on their website, they do weddings, birthdays and other events at the winery since they also have a restaurant. Great experience overall! (1.5hrs)

My wife and I were the only ones on the tour, and though we were hesitant to pay the tour fee, we found it worthwhile in the end. Our host, George, proved to be very entertaining and informative. Because the winery is small and specialized we found it easy to understand the wine-making process. Especially good was the tasting which paired wine and foods in ways we had not expected. We learned a few tricks that will make us better hosts.

Super endroit! Super produits! Accueil sympathique! J'aimerais beaucoup y retourner l'été.Notre coup de coeur : le kir Fleur de Lys, délicieux et très abordable!
