Discover the fascinating world of bees and artisanal alcohol-making on our guided tour from the bee to the bottle. Located in downtown Quebec, Apikol is an urban farm and distillery where you’ll get an inside look at how honey is transformed into unique spirits.
Led by one of our beekeeper and distiller co-owners, the tour takes you through the hive, where you can observe bees at work across all four seasons. Learn about honey extraction, fermentation, distillation, and how we craft our artisanal alcohols from pure honey. It’s an engaging experience that combines education with tasting.
Finish your visit with a tasting session of three of our products, including sparkling mead and two spirits, chosen to suit your preferences. It’s a perfect way to appreciate the flavors and craftsmanship behind each bottle.
