The CVAQ: your passport to knowing the certified wines of Quebec’s terroir
The Quebec Appellation Wines Council (CVAQ) oversees the protection, supervision and supervision of the PGI Vin du Québec and PGI Vin de glace du Quebec appellations. In this sense, the organization represents all Quebec winegrowers whose wines respect all stages of production, from harvest to bottle
