WELCOME
We are delighted to invite you to the second edition of the 'Soñemos' tango marathon, held at the Domaine du Ridge vineyard: an enchanting setting, a unique atmosphere, and a covered outdoor dance space, enveloped by the charm of the vineyards.
For this new edition, we offer you an extraordinary tango adventure over the extended Labor Day weekend (Canada and U.S.): more time for greater enjoyment! With an additional milonga on Sunday evening compared to 2023, and a holiday Monday to relax in the beautiful Montreal wine region.
Join us and immerse yourself in a dream setting that will transform your weekend into a memorable experience, accompanied by quality food and exquisite wines to enhance every tanda.
The Domaine du Ridge vineyard is situated a 1-hour drive from Montreal (in the Eastern Townships) and 15 minutes from the American border (close to Lake Champlain).
Included :
- 5 milongas and 5 guest DJs
- 5 meals, including an Argentine asado (BBQ)
(vegetarian/vegan options available)
- 1 wine tasting + a tour of the vineyard
- And other surprises to come!

ACCOMMODATIONS
We understand that finding accommodation in the wine region can be challenging, especially on a long weekend. To facilitate your search, we have taken the following measures to assist you :
-
We have secured specific accommodations, available primarily for our registered participants.
-
NEW this edition! We introduce to you the 'Soñemos Village': a set of trailers available for rent, arranged around a campfire for a friendly and warm atmosphere to connect and gather. For your comfort, each trailer will be equipped with water and electricity, and a Concierge will be dedicated to ensuring a flawless experience. Located 5 minutes walk from the vineyard!
Despite our efforts to pre-book accommodations, or if staying in a trailer is not to your liking, we strongly recommend that you secure your own accommodation as soon as possible (via Airbnb, bed and breakfasts, hotels, etc.), even if this involves a later cancellation (according to your booking conditions). It is a long weekend, and the demand for accommodations increases significantly!
THE VENUE
The Domaine du Ridge vineyard provides an ideal setting for our event. Nestled on the Quebec wine route, this place benefits from the microclimate of the Champlain Valley, guaranteeing an exceptional end-of-summer celebration! The open-air dance floor will offer breathtaking views of the expanse of wine-growing landscapes.
