Glace Wine Quebec - Domaine des Salamandres

A Family Estate

The Domaine des Salamandres was established following a series of exciting discoveries during family outings in the Hemmingford valleys, the ancestral home, and the iconic Mount Covey Hill. This natural site offers a great diversity of woods, orchards, and vineyards, housing notably the largest variety of salamanders in Quebec's dark mountain ranges.

The creation of the business was like a second life, the realization of a dream that consisted of settling and cohabiting on this chosen land. Thanks to Sylvain's expertise acquired in a local orchard, they had the necessary foundations to cultivate vines. In 2006, Denise finally suggested starting in agriculture and officially founding the Domaine des Salamandres.

One year after the first vines were planted, a major frost destroyed half of their plants. However, their production model, already diversified between two crops, allowed them to limit the losses. Today, the estate is at the heart of their positioning and the distinction of the business: Domaine des Salamandres: wines and perry.

Fifteen years later, the estate offers visitors a privileged place to discover distinctive products. They work in harmony with the territory and the biodiversity that charmed them from the start.

Perfect as a dessert wine or digestif, it reflects the unique artisanal expertise of Domaine des Salamandres.
