Granby, QC – A mission to promote
home-grown grape varieties to millions of Quebec citizens has turned into a
decade-long journey of business and discovery for Vignes Chez Soi owner
Caroline Fontaine.
She founded Vignes Chez Soi with one goal: to bring Quebec table grapes, until then
completely unknown to the masses, directly into homes, gardens, courtyards,
patios and terraces.
“The mission was to ensure the popularity of the different
Quebec grape varieties is at the same level as that of apples, blueberries and
strawberries from Quebec,” she declared. “That mission was created 13 years’
ago, and Quebec vines now grow everywhere.”
Today, the company is spreading the word and their grapes.
From Chicoutimi to Sherbrooke via Tadoussac and Montreal, to the
Iles-de-la-Madeleine, demand continues to grow. The company has even branched
out as far as Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Ms Fontaine said: “Our mission does not stop there. It
will only be fulfilled when the only table grape we currently find in our
grocery stores from Mexico or Chile will be replaced by our own much tastier,
original and Quebec table grape!”
Vignes Chez Soi now works jointly with producers and large
distributors of fruits and vegetables to develop extensive table grape
vineyards in Quebec, capable of meeting the demand and requirements of large retailers.
The grape varieties can be utilized for numerous
possibilities, from jams to jellies, or enjoy the succulent fresh fruits on
their own.
The company, which also offers training and conferences on
the cultivation of vines in Quebec and produces vines of grape varieties
adapted to the climate, has seen more than 500,000 vines created since its
inception.
