The Philanthropists’ Wine Cellar, presented by Desjardins, returns from November 3 to 17, 2025 — a refined blend of generosity, elegance and impact. This online fine wine auction invites donors, collectors and partners to come together around a shared cause: supporting mental health care at Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne.
A harmony of generosity and well-being
Like the perfect pairing, each bottle offered and each bid placed adds a new note of balance and compassion.
Because in mental health, every gesture — however delicate — helps restore confidence, calm and connection.
The perfect tasting of generosity
Curated by world-renowned sommelier Élyse Lambert, this edition features more than 150 exceptional wines — vintages chosen for their complexity, their depth… and the emotion they inspire. Each carries its own “pastille” of kindness — from the bold generosity of collectors to the smooth elegance of those who give back.
The perfect pairing between pleasure and purpose
Every day, adults of all ages at the Mental Health Department of Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne face deep psychological distress. By taking part in The Philanthropists’ Wine Cellar, you help care for the visible to heal the invisible — transforming hospital spaces to make them calmer, comfortable and conducive to recovery. Through your generosity, these patients regain balance, strength and the serenity they need to rebuild their lives.
A cause to savour until November 17
Bidding is open until November 17 at 9 p.m.
For fine-dining lovers: La Paulée

A moment of tasting, celebration and gratitude, shared with Élyse Lambert and a community of epicurean philanthropists united by generosity and heart.
