Our Story

Our Story

A house of modern drinks — distilling, mixology, design, and hospitality, rooted in Quebec terroir.

Marc Dupré, cofondateur de Cherry River
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.

Acquisition and transformation of the Anglican church into an artisanal distillery. The first copper stills are installed beneath the heritage vaults.

Production moves to a brand new facility, built to expand our production capacity and support Cherry River's growth.
