Four gorgeous vineyards for a wedding

Looking for the ideal spot to say “I do”? The Brome-Missisquoi Wine Route abounds with enchanting vineyards where you can organize wedding receptions.

Vignoble de la Bauge

Located in Brigham, the vineyard will please anyone who is partial to a rustic-style wedding because of the century-old barn that is on the premises. Fully renovated in 2012, this charming barn can accommodate up to 150 people. A raised platform adorned with agricultural artifacts provides the perfect set-up for the wedding reception’s musical entertainment.

The vineyard also offers tastings of venison, boar meat and other “terroir” products, along with carriage rides in the exotic animal farm where you’ll see wild boar, llamas, yaks, emus, rheas, sika, red and fallow deer.

Vignoble l’Orpailleur

Set in Dunham, my favourite vineyard has six reception halls, including a 1,600 square-foot hall that is completely windowed, providing a clear view of the vineyard, which can accommodate about 120 people.

L’Orpailleur has it all, with the full and personalized service provided by Le Tire-Bouchon restaurant, which will select meal and wine pairings accentuating products from the area and the vineyard’s bountiful vegetable garden. With your happiness in mind, the vineyard offers newlyweds a magnum of its Brut Méthode Champenoise, specially engraved for the occasion. I’m telling you, this place just oozes romanticism!

Domaine des Côtes d’Ardoise

Also located in Dunham, the Domaine des Côtes d’Ardoise is the ideal country setting in which to exchange your vows. This vineyard offers one of the prettiest views in the Eastern Townships. It’s a wonderful setting for magical wedding pictures.

The Domaine’s staff can erect a tent that can accommodate up to 50 people, perfect for your first dance or to indulge in their catering service. You can also take advantage of this joyous celebration to take a look at the many sculptures that grace the site.

They don’t offer a catering service anymore but you can indulge your own.

There are plenty of reasons to take advantage of the great places the region has to offer, while celebrating your wedding. But you should do it as soon as possible because some of the places are reserved a year ahead of time.

Let’s raise a glass to the prospective newlyweds! Cheers!
