Vignoble de l’Orpailleur — Restaurant in Dunham

Awful experience on August 22 at 2:30p.m. We were a party of 5, the hostess at the place asked us very nicely if we wanted to go to the boutique or the restaurant. We wanted to eat so she indicated us to get in line, they were 3 groups in line before us. We waited 20 to 30 minutes. After a couple with a baby got in, the hostess at the restaurant told us they were full in a very agressive way. We were astounded. There was a table with 6 seats empty just in front of us and I obviously asked about it, and she replied, again, in a very rude way, that that table was reserved. Fair enough, but at least 4 groups before us got in no questions asked. I asked again if something could be done, we were in line for a while and people were also waiting behind us. She insisted that there was no table for us. We asked how much time we had to wait for a table as we were willing to wait, she said at least 40 minutes but had to leave a name and a number. When my friend said his name, cause, yes, we were willing to wait, she ignored us and didn't even take our phone number. We were absolutely discriminated. It was such a random act of discrimination we could not even understand what was going on. The hostess lady which was outside, asked us what happened and why we were not eating. We thabked her and left. I don't recommend to attend a place who discriminates people. We will never return or recommend this place. Feel bad for the hostess at the door who was very kind. Please note the 5 of us were keeping the 2mts distabce and wearing masks as recommended eventhough we were outside. This person just did not want to serve us for some reason. I really hope it was not because of us speaking in a foreign language, but as this was such a clear discriminatory act, we got to the conclusion that it was the reason for refusing us a table as we were the only people whose entry was denied. We were even denied for a table. Shame on this restaurant and hostess....

The recommended vineyard in Quebec. Tried ones in Ontario and other European ones. This one is not tasting at the COVID. So bought the $28 most expensive bottle of Chardonnay for a try. Announced by the salespersons that it won the medal over blind taste. The wine was also put in the American oak barrel according to the salesperson.

They say the wine is chilled well for opening and tasting outside. When it is opened, they used the screw that doesn’t hurt the cork, but the temperature of the wine bottle is not satisfactory. The taste is hmm, spice, wax and a bit smoky, worse than any bottle even in Costco.

I wanna enrich my knowledge in wine medals here, so I went online according to the photo I took at the shelf. Look carefully, the medal has 2020 and 2018 on it, the bottle is 2019. Not even the medal has nothing to do with the bottle, the website has not mentioned this bottle in none of these years.

This is cheating that...

First time experiencing wineries in the province of Québec and we choose this one as our number one winery to try first . It did not disappoint. Our tasting was done by a very knowledgeable and personable lady by the name of Lucie Bilodeau. Bilingual as well which helped with my anglophone husband. What we found fascinating on how they kept their vines from freezing in the harsh Québec winters The wines are of high calibres. Well done! Totally...
