Vignoble is the French term for vineyard. Lionel Rancourt had a dream about owning a vineyard and a winery, and his dream came true. A farmer to the core he planted the grapes with his own hands and was a marvel with machinery having fun modifing traditional equipment to suit his partiular needs. Lionel even thought of new systems to increase grape production. Then donning his carpenter's hat he designed and built his pretty little cottage winery from the ground up.
His legacy carries on through his wife Lorraine and son Dennis who honour both his memory and his vision. Their bilingual winery features small batches of unique VQA wines. Travel along Concession 4 to find their tasting room. Groups can also contact the family for private tastings and events, and to attend classes about grape growing and wine production in the upstairs seminar room.
