Covid-19 Important Message
Dear friends
Vaccination has started and better days are ahead. The Quebec government is assuring the majority of Quebecers should be vaccinated by September. With this announcement Les Conseillers du Vin wish to inform you that all activities (courses, tastings and workshops) will restart with the Fall 2021 semester. The new program of activities will be posted on the website this summer, most probably in July. For those who cannot wait, a Virtual Workshop is offered in April. Just go to the website and click on «Virtual Tastings» to register. Thank you for your patience and support.
