Hotel Options:
Most hotels from mainstream chains (Marriott/Starwood, Hilton, Fairmont) are located in or close to the Old Quebec neighbourhood which is about 7-8 km from the venue. ALT and Plaza Québec on the list below are the two hotels closest to the pre-dinner event and dinner and are within walking distance.


Marriott:
The Courtyard Quebec City is further out of the Old city while the other 2 are well located. The Marriott Downtown is in a great location to walk around the Old city, so is the Delta but the Delta has less charm.

Starwood:
PUR - Located in St-Roch neighbourhood, a vibrant area of the city.

The FourPoints Sheraton is in Levis, across the St-Lawrence river, which would mean quite a ride from the venue (about 20 km). Not recommended because of location/distance.

Hilton:
The Hilton is well located, close to the Old city. Older hotel but may have been refurbished not too long ago.

The Hampton Inn is also in Levis across the river. Not recommended because of location

Fairmont:
Fairmont Chateau Frontenac is located in the heart of Old Quebec.

Boutique or other hotels (part of smaller chains):
ALT https://www.althotels.com/en/quebec/
Plaza Québec by Jaro https://www.hotelsjaro.com/plaza-quebec/en/
Palace Royal by Jaro https://www.hotelsjaro.com/palace-royal/en/

I may have had one of these. Or two. Or was it three? Who's counting at this point?



Don't mention the other desserts on the plate please.

Hi everyone,

The YQB Do is just about 4 weeks away ^. Time for some reminders and additional information.

Some FTers are still waitlisted and as mentioned upthread, space is limited. To secure your spot to this événement spécial, we recommend confirming sooner than later.

For those interested in the waterfall (C, chutes) and/or vineyard (V, vignoble), please do not forget to indicate your interest.

And one last very important thing, your hosts are delighted to let you know that some "welcome wine & appetizers" will be provided at the pre-Do event. You will be able to taste some delicacies from La Belle Province (not poutine!).

Cheers!

Not too late, yet.
We will eventually post a firm deadline so we can better manage the planning.
So you are welcome to sign up. Just add your name to the wiki and whether you want to participate in one, or both, of the activities (C and/or V).

That's unfortunate. Hopefully you'll be able to join us for a future "second edition" some day.

I can't modify the FAQ to add my name since I don't have enough post, but I'd also like to join!

I'd drive from Montreal saturday morning and should be there for the winery and the rest of the day. If anyone needs a ride just let me know!
