Welcome to a unique eco-friendly urban farm in the heart of Quebec City! Apikol is an urban distillery located in city centre Quebec City (Saint-Roch district). Apikol brings together a honey house, a mead house, a distillery and a tasting area under the same roof. Apikol is equipped to reduce its ecological footprint. You are invited to a memorable visit.
Guided tours are led by one of the co-owners who are beekeepers and distillers. You will be fascinated by the world of bees while watching them at work in a small, live, all-season hive. Afterwards, you will discover how artisanal mead and fine spirits are made from homemade honey.
