Picture this: nestled in the heart of Chelsea village, a dream has been brewing for more than three years. The dedicated team behind La Distillerie du Square has been working tirelessly to turn this dream into a reality. And guess what? They're almost there! Soon enough, Chelsea will have a distillery to call its own, and you're invited to be a part of this exciting journey.
While the finishing touches are being put on the distillery, the team decided to give you a little sneak peek of what's to come. They've created their very first gin recipe, and it's called the Gin du Jardin. Crafted from 100% corn-based Quebec alcohol, this gin promises to take your taste buds on a botanical adventure. It's like capturing the essence of the Quebec landscape in a bottle.
But hold on, there's more to La Distillerie du Square than just spirits. This place is all about creating a holistic experience for visitors. Imagine stepping into a charming boutique filled with local products, spirits, and accessories that are bound to catch your eye. And if you're curious about the art of distillation, you're in for a treat. Guided site visits and tasting workshops are in the cards, giving you a chance to learn, explore, and appreciate the craft behind your favourite spirits.
Ever wondered about the history of spirit production and the tales that lie within the town of Chelsea? Well, wonder no more. The distillery is planning to set up an eco-museum where you can dive deep into the intriguing past of both spirit-making and the charming town itself. Its history comes to life with a delightful twist.
Behind every incredible venture is a visionary leader, and in this case, it's the amazing Manuela Teixeira. With over 25 years of experience in the Outaouais community, Manuela has been the driving force behind various residential, commercial, and recreational tourism projects, making a mark with her exceptional ideas. You can feel her passion and dedication by exploring her other establishments right in the heart of Old Chelsea.
