- Record Staff

The Brome-missisquoi Wine Route Open House Event takes place this weekend, Saturday, July 7, and Sunday, July 8, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.

As in previous years, the majority of the vineyards on the Wine Route are opening their doors and welcoming visitors to experience the unique event.

"Winemakers truly appreciate the day because they can share their passion, their knowledge, and their stories with their guests," said Richard Bresee of the Domaine Bresee Vineyard, "The Wine Route is a valuable asset, highlighti­ng our region and making it stand out; it's important to value it."

A Personal Interactio­n with Winemakers

During the two days, winemakers themselves will welcome visitors and guide them through their facilities. It's truly a great opportunit­y to learn more about the vineyards which have become the pride of our region, from the artisans who establishe­d them. The event offers visitors the opportunit­y to get to know about the production of their delicious products, to know the history of each vineyard, and to get a sense of why these winemakers feel so passionate about their work.
