A house of modern drinks — distilling, mixology, design, and hospitality, rooted in Quebec terroir.
A Story Born of Passion
« I wanted to highlight local resources and know-how. I'm proud to produce here… it's part of who I am. »
Marc Dupré
Co-founder, singer-songwriter
Cherry River was born from a meeting between Marc Dupré, singer-songwriter, and his manager Francis Delage — a shared passion for quality spirits, hospitality, and local Quebec production.
More than five years of research led the team to exceptional groundwater in the village of Cherry River, in the Eastern Townships — now the signature of our creations.
Every page of our story carries the signature of a brand that is authentically Quebec, resolutely modern.
