Ciders in the spotlight at the Jean-Talon market
On Saturday and Sunday, the Jean-Talon market will host the third edition of the Foire des vins et cidres d’ici. Visitors will be able to learn more about the province’s wine and cider world by discovering different local producers. On the program, some twenty vineyards and cider houses from Quebec will offer tastings. Among the exhibitors present, we will notably find the Cidrerie d’un hectare, Cidre sauvageon, Capsuletemporel, Jus sec, the Domaine Amalgames and the Têtes au vent vineyard. All this will be combined with a culinary offer signed Cuisine libre! by chef Clément Boivin, who will suggest small appetizers to pair with the alcoholic selection. Sommelier Kristine Mansuy will also present educational workshops (registration required and fee). The event will return the following weekend, this time at the Maisonneuve market. Admission to the site is free. The glass is sold at the price of $3.50 and the tastings vary between $1 and $5. From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
