Savour | On a plate or in a glass All of that abundance eventually makes its way onto your plate... or into your glass! At Vignoble d’Ovila, sip a delicious glass of wine paired with a pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven in a welcoming family atmosphere. At Vignoble Côte de Vaudreuil, taste a sparkling wine, a red, a white or a rosé outdoors among the vines, which also serve as a backdrop for sculptures by Quebec artists. Looking for new discoveries?
