Guided tour « from the bee to the bottle » with tasting – English
Best for: Travelers who want a brief, guided food-and-drink experience in downtown Quebec City
This experience is a compact, guided visit at an urban agriculture distillery in downtown Quebec City. The tour is led by one of the beekeeper-distiller co-owners, so the focus stays on the connection between bees, honey, and the finished alcohol. The itinerary notes describe an interpretation segment covering extraction, fermentation, distillation, aging, formulation, and bottling, followed by a tasting led by an expert. The confirmed inclusion is alcoholic beverages. It suits travelers who prefer a short, indoor-friendly stop with a very specific theme rather than a broad city sightseeing route.
