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

When snow covers the cobblestones of Petit-Champlain and the temperature drops, a spiced mulled wine becomes the perfect antidote. Guide to the best winter spots in Quebec, with our Carrera Café selection.

Quebec in winter

A unique experience in the world

Winter in Quebec is not an obstacle. It’s the season. The snow-covered fortifications, the Old Port skating rinks, the illuminated decorations of Petit-Champlain: Quebec in winter is one of the most beautiful cities in North America, no question.

And in this postcard-like Nordic setting, there is nothing more comforting than a spiced mulled wine served in 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: come in, warm up, 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 wraps them up. It's the perfect combination to face -15°C with a smile."

Marco, barista at Carrera Café
