Vignoble La Manse: a beautiful big family
A “manse” was, in the Middle Ages, a small agricultural estate large enough to feed a family. This is where the inspiration for the name of the vineyard acquired by three childhood friends comes from, who consider themselves, with their respective families, as a beautiful big family. Alexandre Tardif, Pascal Plante and Stéphane Dion embarked on the adventure of viticulture in the spring of 2021 by acquiring a former vineyard in Roxton Pond, in the Eastern Townships, where 3,000 vines were already planted. Their goal: to plant 25,000 more and produce, within a few years, 65,000 bottles of wine.
Until then, their white, red and rosé wines are available at the vineyard shop, an enchanting site where there are vines of petite-perle, st-croix, gamaret, frontenac black, white and grey, adalmiina and muscat. In addition to stocking up on local wines, visitors can enjoy a 2.5 km walking trail in the forest, and, on the way back, enjoy a glass of wine on the edge of the lake at the estate.
