La Halte des Pèlerins offers a rare opportunity to acquire a recognized Sherbrooke wine estate bringing together wine production, agritourism and events at one address.
The estate spans 44.9 acres (18.17 ha) and includes a residence, cultivable land with vines, a functional winery, vat room, laboratory, boutique, kitchen, offices, storage areas, bottling line and wash station. Electrical services of 400 A, 100 A and 200 A support the building's various functions. Water is supplied by an artesian well, with a septic tank and disposal field. Zoning is commercial and residential.
The property features a distinctive event component. A 60 x 90 ft tent structure on a slab, fitted bar, washrooms, gazebo and landscaped ceremony site can accommodate approximately 225 seated guests. An audio system with microphones and speakers supports weddings, ceremonies, corporate events and other gatherings. These facilities create a natural synergy with the boutique, tastings and vineyard tours.
The residence offers hydronic radiant floors, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, bright living spaces, a veranda, large balcony and heat pump. A detached, heated double garage completes the property.
The estate has built meaningful recognition over the years. Le Voyageur wine earned a gold medal at the international Bacchus competition in Spain. According to the documentation provided, the non-fortified wines hold Québec IGP certification, while distribution includes the SAQ, grocery stores and other retailers. An independent LJM Conseil study for 2018 estimated annual attendance at 5,589 visitors and found that 83.4% of respondents came from more than 40 km away, demonstrating the destination's historic tourism reach.
The site lies within an agroclimatic zone of approximately 2300 to 2500 Corn Heat Units (CHU). Corn Heat Units measure the amount of heat available during the growing season and help assess an area's climatic potential for different crops. This information is particularly relevant when evaluating a vineyard property.
Based on information supplied by the seller, the facilities could support an approximate 30% to 40% increase in wine production without major modifications, while the land may offer potential for up to approximately 5,000 additional vines. These possibilities, as well as any lodging, expansion or new-use project, must be verified by the buyer with the appropriate authorities.
A landmark property where terroir, recognition, infrastructure and customer experience are already united. An exceptional platform for an entrepreneur ready to carry the existing legacy forward while shaping its next chapter.
