In addition to the interpretation panels that provide countless information on the grape producer’s trade and on the history of wine, the ECONOMUSEUM® makes magazines and books on this fine art available to visitors. One of these is a classic: Le vin romain antique. Between its covers, the reader encounters Hervé Durand on the site of a Gallo-Roman wine operation in the Costières de Nîmes region in France. Explanations are given about how grapes were grown and made into wine 2 000 years ago. There is also a unique reconstruction of an antique wine storehouse.


The vine and wine ECONOMUSEUM® houses fascinating objects that bear witness to ancestral savoir-faire such as a wooden hand-operated wine press, demijohns, baskets, bush hooks and hoes. Archaeological artefacts from Parks Canada, such as bottles and plates from the end oh the 17th century to the beginning of the 20th century, enrich the vineyard’s traditional collection.

These items from the past bear tangible witness to the meticulous work of wine producers from another era. They also enable visitors to compare techniques from the past with contemporary methods.


The Société internationale des entreprises ECONOMUSÉE® has created a network of businesses each of which is specialized in a different artisanal craft or trade. The businesses are spread across various regions of Quebec and the Maritimes. The Société internationale des entreprises ECONOMUSÉE®’s mission is to conserve, develop and showcase heritage crafts and savoir-faire following the economuseology concept by promoting the setting up of ECONOMUSEUM® across the country in order to provide the public with an innovative tourism and cultural product.
