Wine Tour in Southern Quebec

Just over the Vermont border within 12 miles there is a wine tour.  Maps are available in many places.
Large and small wineries are sprinkled around and the countryside is the most pleasant to drive through.
There was very little traffic on the day we were traveling and every farm and house along the route was
beautifully kept and scenic.

 In some of the wineries they had displays of old equipment.
 Each winery had bar and retail area, the charge was
50 cents for a tiny glass, but it's usually enough
to decide whether I like it not.  I'm no pro for sure
but I know what I like.

We wound up getting more dessert wines than anything.

 One of the wineries had a very nice sculpture garden, but all the wineries had interesting things to look at.
 Along the route was a pottery.  They had very interesting grounds, full of sculptures and fountains and footpaths.

They have similar business experiences like we have
in the states as far as making livings as artists.

Quite a few places had open air pavilions where they must have samplings and parties. Every place was very free with their property, you had to pay for the wine but otherwise you could wander the vineyards and buildings.
