Our Journey

From passion to profession

2022

The Beginning

Founders Manuël and Jean-Félix Gaudreau come from a line of importers who, as early as the early 1900s, transported perfumes and alcoholic beverages from France to Québec. It was only a matter of time before the next generation went into business.

2023

A project

During a trip to Dalmatia in Croatia, an idea was born. The remarkable small-scale productions of this region and our realization of the limited access to them here in Quebec propelled us further in our entrepreneurial journey.

2024

A defining encounter

On a business trip to South America, Jean-Félix met Martin Sesto, an Argentine winemaker, and his family. He immediately fell for both the man and his wines. A few weeks later, Maison Gaudreau was born!

2025

Crisp mountain air

Manuël and Jean-Félix traveled to Mendoza, Argentina, to share unforgettable moments with winemakers Martin Sesto, Gonzalo Tamagnini, and their families. They took part in the harvest and had the opportunity to experience a full immersion into the winemaking world of Desquiciado Wines.

Today

On a journey

Maison Gaudreau is venturing out to connect with new partners from Europe and the New World, through wine exhibitions and immersive stays with producers.

Meet Our Team

The passionate people behind Maison Gaudreau

Jean-Félix Gaudreau

Co-Founder and Market Development Director

I have always been drawn to interpersonal relationships; this is why, from a young age, I have pursued a career in sales. Over the past 19 years, I have developed solid experience in high-volume distribution, both as a wholesaler and with an international manufacturer. I later led a sales team as a Territory Director. For me, building business strategies and developing markets are driven above all by the genuine relationships I create. A father for seven years, I have successfully met the challenge of balancing personal life with business development.

Manuël Gaudreau

Co-Founder and Director of operations

From a young age, I developed a strong passion for gastronomy, then wine. I spent 11 years in the restaurant industry before completing my university education in business administration. Traveling the world for five years allowed me to deepen my understanding of wine and the craftsmanship behind every great bottle. I am inspired by process optimization and by cultivating long-term business relationships built on trust.
