| Chaudière-Appalaches wine route reaches out | |
| November 9, 2007 | |
| EnBeauce.com reports that after a successful summer, the Chaudière-Appalaches wine route is increasing its current number of partner cider, wine and fruit alcohol producers from four to sixteen. Financial support of $74,625 was allocated to the wine route organization at a recent Chaudière-Appalaches region gathering of elected officials, writes Isabelle Henry. The wine route project will benefit from $199,900 in total, to help producers from Beauce-Sartigan, Bellechasse, l'Islet, Lotbinière, Montmagny and La Nouvelle-Beauce Municipalités régionales de comtés (MRCs) join the touring route. "The project aims to give a greater profile to these agricultural operations and to integrate them to a tourist route similar to the gourmet route of the Chaudière-Appalaches. The challenge will be to create links between all the initiative's partner businesses, which are spread over the wider Chaudière-Appalaches territory," according to the executive director of the Table agroalimentaire de la Chaudière-Appalaches Jean-Michel Bordron. The first four businesses to join the wine route in Chaudière-Appalaches were Cache à Maxime in Scoot, the Nordet of Lévis, the Casa Breton orchard and vineyard of Saint-Henri and the Ricaneux of Saint-Charles de Bellechasse. |
