Wines and craft beers to discover

Finally, summer is just around the corner, with its warm sunshine! It makes you thirsty, doesn’t it? To enhance your lunches, dinners, and barbecues, we invite you to discover local wines and craft beers. Enjoy them with your significant other after a long day or, now that we’re finally together again, with your friends and family! Here are the top 5 picks from the Tourisme Laval team.

The rosé sparkling wine and cider from Château Taillefer Lafon

No. 1 – Rosé sparkling wine, made using the traditional method

This sparkling wine is undoubtedly one of the signature wines of the unique Lavallois vineyard, the Château Taillefer Lafon. Perfect for celebrating the start of the weekend, the beginning of vacation, or even a romantic evening, this rosé sparkling wine has a pleasant liveliness and a fairly lingering finish. You’ll be asking for more!

No. 2 – Sparkling Thrills

Would you prefer a sparkling cider? Try Frisson en bulles, a premium cider that’s perfect for evenings with friends and barbecues. Enjoy!

The Islanders' Favorite Beers from Microbreweries

Whether you’ve been working in your garden beds at home or just want to unwind after a long day at the office, we offer two beers from Laval, brewed on-site at Insulaires Microbrasseurs : Éden and Bochka Vishnya.

Top 3 – Bikini Island

A classic American IPA for the patio, 6%

Top 4 – La Double Dérive, IPA DDH (Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe) 8%.

A generously hopped version that’s even juicier and hazier than the original. A true explosion of tropical fruit, yet still very drinkable despite its high alcohol content!

No matter what your preferences or tastes, you’ll love these festive flavors! (And there are even more—what a treat!)

A beer made from bread crumbs? What a great idea from La Bête à pain!

Top 5 – Miettes, a Hefeweizen-style beer brewed in Quebec

Bread salvaged and turned into Hefeweizen-style beer—what a clever idea! Miettes was created thanks to the team spirit and shared values of the Oshlag microbrewery and the Bête à Pain, which champion a local vision, product authenticity, and the joy of innovation. This Quebec craft beer is brewed according to the standards of Hefeweizen, a wheat beer from southern Germany. Miettes is therefore a wheat beer with aromas of banana, clove, cinnamon, and toasted bread. Exotic and original, isn’t it?
