★ For what occasion

More than a workshop, an experience


A Discovery workshop is also an original outing, a memorable gift, and a unique group activity. Some ideas to inspire you.

Gift idea

Birthday, Christmas, Mother’s or Father’s Day. A Carrera experience always makes more impact than just another gift to unwrap.

Outing in Québec

Just steps from the river, in the heart of Petit-Champlain. An original activity to add to your weekend, between visiting Old Québec and a good dinner.

Group activity

Bachelor party, friends’ celebration, family gathering. We welcome small groups and adapt to your wishes, with or without alcohol.

With teens

Mocktail version for under 18s, or coffee discovery for the more curious. A cool outing that appeals to both parents and young people.

Learning

What you will experience


One or two hours, enough time to leave with practical skills, memories, and a desire to learn more.

Get hands-on, behind the machine or the bar, with a pro by your side.

Understand the essential techniques: grinding, dosing, pouring, balancing flavors.

Prepare your own signature drink, coffee or cocktail, and leave with the know-how.

Experience an extraordinary moment in an inspiring setting, in Québec, overlooking the river.

The Discovery Workshops at Carrera Café

The Discovery Workshops at Carrera Café offer an accessible and immersive introduction to the world of specialty coffee and cocktails. Designed for the curious, enthusiasts, and budding fans, they take place at our location at 72 boulevard Champlain, in the heart of Petit-Champlain in Québec. In one or two hours, you step behind the counter with one of our baristas or bartenders and leave with practical skills and the drink you made yourself.

The gift idea that really stands out

It's hard to find a better experience to give as a gift. Birthday, Christmas, Mother's or Father's Day, wedding anniversary, retirement—our Discovery packages make a unique and memorable gift. Whether the person loves coffee, is curious about cocktails, or both, you offer them a unique moment signed Carrera, in a carefully crafted setting, with skills that will last well beyond the session. And for younger guests or non-drinkers, our mocktail version is just as refined.

An activity to do in Quebec, off the beaten path

Looking for an original activity in Quebec, as a couple, with friends, or family? The Discovery Workshops fit perfectly into a weekend in Old Quebec, between crossing the river, visiting the fortifications, and enjoying a good dinner. An hour or two behind our bar, and you leave with a story to tell, plus practical skills. It's also an ideal group activity for bachelor parties, celebrations with friends, or small team outings.

Non-alcoholic mixology designed for everyone

Our non-alcoholic mixology workshop offers the same quality experience, with no compromises. Homemade syrups, infusions, creative garnishes, balanced flavors—you'll learn to create truly sophisticated cocktails. It's perfect for teens, families, expectant mothers, athletes, or anyone who prefers to avoid alcohol. A genuine bar experience, accessible to all ages, in an adult and refined setting.

Book your Discovery Workshop in Quebec

All our Discovery Workshops are available online in our shop or by direct reservation. Places are limited to ensure a personalized experience, so it's best to book in advance, especially for weekends and holiday periods. For groups, gifts, or special requests, contact us at info@carreracafe.ca and our team will offer you the perfect experience. We look forward to welcoming you at Carrera Café.
