Explore the Bee to Bottle Experience in Downtown Quebec

5.0 (15 reviews) · By Apikol - Distillerie

Discover the fascinating world of bees and artisanal spirits on this guided tour from the bee to the bottle in Quebec. Led by one of our passionate beekeeper and distiller co-owners, you'll get an up-close look at a working hive throughout the year, observing bees in action during each season.

After exploring the hive, learn how we craft our unique alcohols using honey from our urban farm. The tour takes you through the entire process—from honey extraction to fermentation, distillation, and bottling—giving you a behind-the-scenes look at our artisanal methods.

The experience wraps up with a tasting session where you'll sample our mead and two of our spirits, carefully selected to showcase the flavors of our creations. It's a perfect blend of education and tasting, ideal for anyone curious about bees, distilling, or simply looking for a memorable local experience.
