A+ Urban Farming + Master Distiller - Urban farming, master distillery, science lesson, Quebec history — this tour had it all. Co-owner Fred has obvious pride in his work and is excellent at conveying the art of distilling and the pride of local eco-tourism reigned throughout. We had my children on the tour and he was very good at including them throughout. Really — a great tour!

A Must Do Tour - As beekeepers, we found this tour to bee (LOL) incredibly interesting and informative. All non-beekeepers should definitely do this tour, as well. The tasting was a great experience, too!

A story of urban beekeeping and creating a sustainable Canadian business in Quebec City - Nadine shared her and her co-founders back story in urban beekeeping. Very interesting and learned a great deal. Then learned about creating a distillery business that is eco friendly and sustainable. Look forward to seeing the Crackling Mead, Gin Liquer infused with herbs, and Eau de Vei caramelise, along with their other products available across Canada. A wonderful experience to have fun learning about the details of urban beekeeping and then tasting of the products created by Nadine and Frederick and their bees. Margy and Ian
