La Halte des Pèlerins offers a rare opportunity to acquire a recognized Sherbrooke wine estate combining wine production, agritourism and events. The estate spans 44.9 acres (18.17 ha) and includes a residence, land with vines, functional winery, vat room, laboratory, boutique, kitchen, offices, storage areas, bottling line and wash station. Artesian well, septic tank and disposal field. Commercial and residential zoning. 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 supports weddings, ceremonies and corporate events. These facilities complement the boutique, tastings and vineyard tours. The residence offers hydronic radiant floors, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a veranda, large balcony and heat pump. A detached, heated double garage completes the property. The estate's winemaking expertise has earned recognition in Canada and internationally, with several wines receiving gold and silver distinctions. Le Voyageur earned gold at the Bacchus international competition in Spain and at the Texas International Wine Competition. The estate's white wine received gold at the Catad'Or World Wine Awards in Chile and Sélections Mondiales des Vins in Canada, while Le Blanc earned silver in Texas. 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 estate's historic tourism reach. The site lies within a zone of approximately 2300 to 2500 Corn Heat Units (CHU). Corn Heat Units measure the heat available during the growing season and help assess the climatic potential for different crops, particularly relevant when evaluating a vineyard. According to the seller, the facilities could support an approximate 30% to 40% increase in wine production without major modifications. The land may also offer potential for approximately 5,000 additional vines. These possibilities, along with any lodging, expansion or new-use project, must be verified with the appropriate authorities. A landmark property where terroir, recognition, infrastructure and customer experience are united, ready for its next vision.
