1938

First
tomato ever

The name of this wine pays tribute to Omer Miche, Pascal’s great-grand-father who lived in Belgium and created the first wine in 1938. This year, Omer’s tomato harvests were so exceptional that he had the amazing idea of transforming the fruit into wine. He then perfected his production methods until he obtained an exquisite vintage, with 16% alcohol. To this day, only Pascal Miche knows the secret family recipe.

1958

First vintage

The first vintage people drank took 20 years to make, and although it made the tasters wince, Omer did not stop until he got a more refined taste.

1998

Importation into Quebec

When Pascal Miche came to Quebec in 1998, he started to work on and make Omerto wine known in the area. Ten years later, his tomato wine is on the market. Omerto is now prepared with a specific mix of tomatoes. The type of tomatoes are specifically adapted to the climate of Baie-Saint-Paul, which give the wine a unique taste. Omerto is the first aperitif / digestif ever sold on international markets.
