Quebec Mulled Wine: the best places to warm up in Old Quebec this winter

When snow covers the cobblestones of Petit-Champlain and temperatures plummet, a spiced mulled wine becomes the perfect antidote. A guide to the best winter spots in Quebec City, featuring our Carrera Café selection.

Quebec in winter

A unique experience in the world

Winter in Quebec is not an obstacle. It is the season. The snow-covered fortifications, the Old Port ice rinks, the festive lights of Petit-Champlain: Quebec in winter is, without question, one of the most beautiful cities in North America.

And in this Nordic postcard setting, there's nothing more comforting than a spiced mulled wine served into the gloved hands of a visitor who has just spent two hours in the cold. That's exactly what Carrera Café offers.

The perfect winter pit stop: step inside, warm up, and leave with the energy of a champion.

The barista's advice

For the Quebec winter

"In winter, I always recommend starting with a short espresso to warm up from the inside, then following it with a spiced mulled wine. The espresso awakens the senses, the mulled wine envelops them. It's the perfect combination to face -15°C with a smile."
