Welcome to our urban farm! Apikol is an urban agriculture distillery located in downtown Quebec. Guided tours are led by one of the beekeeper and distiller co-owners. You will be fascinated by the world of bees during the observation of bees at work in our hive (4 seasons). Afterward, you will discover how we make our artisanal alcohols from our honey.
It all ends with the tasting of our alcohol.

5.00This was such a fun experience. Fred our guide/the owner was engaging and very informative. Loved how passionate everyone was about their products and the distilling process, The tasting was great as well. They have some really wonderful products and it is so nice to support a local, ecologically conscious company. I'll be back whenever I am in the area.
Such a Unique and Informative Tour!

5.00This was a great tour! We learned all about the bees, it was so interesting, how they are raised and all of their unique features and capabilities. We then went to the distillery to learn how the honey is distilled into vodka, gin and mead. Afterwards we were offered tasting of the end products. This is such a unique approach to sustainable distilling.
They really care about mead!

5.00What a wonderful experience! During the tour we learned a ton from the owner, Nadine, about beekeeping, mead making, and distillation. All of their products were very tasty. It was well worth the price, and a great experience outside of the regular "touristy" spots.
Bee presently surprised!

5.00Small group experience. Tour in house and all production is done onsite. Intro to bees they have and how they harvest the honey. Honey is a basics for all of there spirits,wine,and grog. Tasting after tour is a delightful experience. Unexpected aromas and taste. Purchasing is only onsite. Not available in stores as part of their permit requirements. They are right in the city minutes from everything. Easy to get there by bus or taxi if you're a tourist.
Fun afternoon!

5.00We had a marvelous time. The co-owner Nadine leads the hour long tour. Tour is limited size as it is a small distillery. Tons of information about bees and the whole process to make mead and spirits. We especially appreciated efforts the business is making to be environmentally friendly. The tasting is well organized and not rushed. Extra tastes are reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
Enjoying the amazing results of the hard working bees at Apikol

5.00Bees are really amazing -- and Apikol truly celebrates them. We really enjoyed learning about apiculture and the distillery in the heart of Quebec City, and we loved every drop of our tasting experience at the end of the tour. Glad we stepped off of the well-trod tourist path to find this urban gem.
Fun with Bees and Booze

5.00Fred was very entertaining and informative in the way he explained both beekeeping and distilling spirits. We also liked his focus on sustainability and working with other local producers. Most importantly the spirits they create are wonderful (we purchase several)! This tour was a great way to spend the afternoon.
Great afternoon

5.00Step away from the tourist traps of Quebec City and learn about local Beekeeping, meadery, and distillation. Fascinating, informative, and delicious! Not only was it great to meet the Apikol folks, but we also met other travelers interested in the local apiculture and brewing.
