Of indigenous origin and folkloric in nature, our Caribou is an authentically Quebec fortified wine, made in Montreal. Traditionally, during festivities, it was customary to offer a glass of Caribou to neighbors and friends visiting during rounds. A favorite aperitif for snowshoeing expeditions and various competitions, it is said to have even helped some Quebec premiers sway undecided voters and win elections. For over 60 years, Caribou has become a symbol of winter gatherings, but don't limit yourself to that! Enjoy hot or cold in good company throughout the year, a warm and convivial drink reflecting the spirit of the Quebec people!
